Step Into a Role That Values Your Skills

Are you an electrically qualified engineer who thrives on solving problems, keeping production moving, and making a real impact? If so, we've got the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're looking for hands-on Electrical Maintenance Engineers to join our client's team and take ownership of keeping our plant and equipment running at peak performance. If you want a role where your expertise is appreciated, your ideas are heard, and no two days are the same - this is it.

Why You'll Love This Role

  • Job security & stability - join a growing business with a strong track record.
  • Challenge & variety - from planned maintenance to quick-fire breakdowns, you'll never be bored.
  • Recognition for your input - your ideas to improve reliability and efficiency won't just be noted; they'll be acted on.
  • Professional respect - work alongside experienced colleagues who value teamwork and knowledge-sharing.
  • Progression & skills growth - develop across electrical systems, PLCs, drives, conveyors, shredders, and more.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Keeping plant downtime to a minimum through smart preventative maintenance.
  • Tackling electrical faults with speed, accuracy, and confidence.
  • Suggesting and delivering improvements that make the site more efficient.
  • Ensuring safety and compliance at every step.
  • Collaborating with operations and maintenance teams to get the job done right.

What We're Looking For

  • Electrical qualifications (time-served apprenticeship ideal).
  • Sharp problem-solving and fault-finding skills.
  • Experience with PLC and inverter drives, safety circuits, motor control systems (bonus points if you've worked on heavy plant such as screeners, shredders, or conveyors).
  • A can-do attitude, strong communication skills, and the ability to get stuck in.

Mechanical experience? That's a bonus - but if you've got the electrical side nailed, we want to hear from you.

The Bottom Line

If you're the kind of engineer who takes pride in fixing problems fast, keeping things running, and suggesting smarter ways of working - you'll fit right in here.
