The Role
Working as part of the site engineering team, you will be responsible for carrying out planned and reactive maintenance across a modern, automated manufacturing operation.
The position is approximately 70% mechanical and 30% electrical, making this an ideal opportunity for a mechanically biased Maintenance Engineer who also has solid electrical fault-finding capability.
You will be working on a wide range of production equipment where effective fault-finding, preventative maintenance and a proactive approach to engineering are essential to maintaining production output.
Key Responsibilities
- Carry out planned preventative and reactive maintenance across the manufacturing site.
- Diagnose and repair mechanical faults on high-speed production machinery.
- Undertake electrical fault-finding and repairs.
- Respond quickly to machinery breakdowns to minimise production downtime.
- Identify the root cause of recurring mechanical and electrical faults.
- Carry out routine inspections and preventative maintenance activities.

- Contribute to maintaining a reliable and efficient production environment.
About You
We are looking for an experienced Maintenance Engineer with a strong mechanical background and good electrical knowledge.
You will ideally have:
- Previous Maintenance Engineering experience within a manufacturing or production environment.
- Strong mechanical fault-finding and maintenance skills.
- Good electrical fault-finding capability.
- Experience working with automated production machinery.
- A practical, hands-on approach to engineering.
- The ability to diagnose faults quickly and methodically.
- A proactive approach to preventative maintenance and machinery reliability.
- The ability to work effectively under pressure in a high-volume production environment.

- High-volume, highly automated manufacturing environment
- Opportunity to work as part of an established engineering team
- Excellent opportunity for an experienced mechanically biased engineer looking for a new challenge
Why Join?
This is a genuine opportunity to join a major manufacturing operation where engineering plays a critical role in maintaining production performance.
With a high level of automation and a fast-paced production environment, no two shifts are likely to be the same. The role will suit an engineer who enjoys hands-on maintenance, diagnosing problems and getting machinery back up and running.
