We are looking for a skilled Maintenance Engineer to join our dedicated foundry maintenance team. In this critical role, you will be the first line of defence against machinery breakdowns — diagnosing faults, repairing die-casting machines, and ensuring production runs at maximum efficiency. From routine servicing to complex installations, you’ll provide expert maintenance support across our production areas, offices, and wider facilities.

• Deliver high-quality in-house maintenance services to production departments, offices, and site facilities.

• Diagnose and repair electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic faults.

• Respond rapidly to breakdowns, minimising downtime and keeping production on target.

• Install and commission both new and existing equipment.

• Carry out routine servicing and planned preventative maintenance.

• Work alongside the Maintenance Manager and fellow engineers to resolve complex issues.

• Test, inspect, and repair machinery, replacing electrical/electronic components (relays, switches, motors) and mechanical parts.

• Reset electrical panels and restore equipment to service.

• Keep accurate, up-to-date maintenance records.

• Recommend improvements to equipment, processes, and safety standards.

• Support continuous improvement by identifying recurring faults and proposing preventative solutions.

• Maintain and repair the physical structure of the site.

• Request replacement parts, tools, and equipment when required.

This Maintenance Engineer position is vital in keeping our foundry operational 24/7. Your expertise will directly safeguard production performance, reduce costly downtime, and ensure all machinery is working to the highest standards.

• Proven experience in both electrical and mechanical maintenance.

• Strong problem-solving and fault-finding ability.

• Previous experience with die-casting machinery (advantageous).

• A proactive, safety-focused attitude.
