Are you a Mechanical Engineer who thrives on making things run smoother, last longer, and break down less often?
You know your way around pumps, gearboxes, conveyors, and rotating kit- and when something goes wrong, youre not just finding the fault, youre figuring out how to stop it happening again. Thats the kind of thinking were after.
Were looking for someone whos just as comfortable with a spanner as they are with a Gantt chart. Someone who gets that proper planning beats last-minute firefighting. Someone who knows that just enough isnt enough.
This role sits within a days-based Engineering team, supporting both day-to-day maintenance and larger shutdown projects. Youll play a key part in keeping complex systems ticking, while also spotting ways to improve reliability, efficiency, and safety.
A big part of the job is managing external contractors, so strong communication and a cool head under pressure are a must. Youll need to balance reactive needs with long-term improvements- and keep safety front and centre while doing it.
And incase you missed it... it's Regular Days!
What youll bring:
A solid background in Mechanical Engineering (Degree, HNC/HND, or equivalent)
Real-world experience in both preventative and corrective maintenance
Familiarity with mechanical systems like pumps, drives, conveyors, and rotating machinery
Knowledge of industrial gases
Confidence in safety systems- pressure equipment, hot works, confined space, you name it
A proactive mindset and a head for continuous improvement
Project experience- from concept through to completion
A team-first attitude, but capable of owning your own area too
What youll be doing:
Planning and managing shutdowns, weekly maintenance schedules and resources
Leading fault diagnosis and acting as the go-to technical expert
Managing external contractors and ensuring safe systems of work
Supporting shift teams, reporting into senior production leadership
Driving CAPEX projects and contributing to long-term site improvement strategies
Youll be joining a site with some of the best tech in the industry. The work is varied, the standards are high, and the opportunities to develop are real. Theres flexibility in working hours, a supportive team, and facilities on site that genuinely make a difference to your day.
If youre looking for a job where you can make a real impact- and get credit for it- this could be the one.
