Company:

Are you a Multi Skilled Engineer looking for an engineering role with a great team, offering long-term stability and genuine opportunities to progress? This could be the one!
We are recruiting for a Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join a large, established manufacturing site, maintaining fast-moving production machinery in a busy factory environment.
You'll be joining a friendly, experienced Engineering Team, with some engineers having been with the business for over 20 + years. They are looking for someone who enjoys working as part of a solid team of engineers, getting stuck into hands-on maintenance and tackling both electrical and mechanical challenges.
Whether you're an electrically biased Multi Skilled Engineer or a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer keen to broaden your electrical skills, this is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive team, develop your expertise and build a long-term career with scope for further progression and salary increases.
Responsibilities:
  • Working as part of a team of around 2 Engineers per shift, you will play a key role in keeping production running smoothly and minimising downtime. Your work will be varied, hands-on and far from repetitive, including:
  • Reactive maintenance, fault-finding and breakdown repairs on fast-moving production machinery.
  • Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) to improve reliability and reduce downtime.
  • Electrical and mechanical troubleshooting to identify and resolve faults.
  • Supporting projects, new machinery installations and equipment refurbishments.
  • Working closely with the Engineering and Production Teams to keep operations running efficiently.
Requirements
  • Completed a recognised engineering apprenticeship or relevant qualifications in Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
  • Experience in maintenance, service engineering or a similar role within a manufacturing or industrial environment.
  • A background as a Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer or Mechanical Maintenance Engineer with a good understanding of electrical fault finding.
  • Experience with any of the following would be considered: conveyors, packaging machinery, bearings, belts, three-phase systems, motors, sensors, inverters, relays, pneumatics, hydraulics, chains, gears or pumps.
You don't need experience with everything – a solid foundation and willingness to learn are what matter as well as a proactive, hands-on attitude with a genuine passion for fault-finding, fixing machinery and keeping production moving and getting your hands dirty!! .
If this role sounds of interest, please apply now and send your most up to date CV to Vicky at TechNichols Resourcing to be considered. Or call TechNichols Resourcing and speak with Vicky for further information.
We will endeavour to get back to all applicants but if you have not heard back within 5 working days unfortunately your application has been unsuccessful.
