Maintenance Engineer

Maintenance Engineer – £55,000 – 4 on / 4 off (2 days, 2 nights)

If you’re looking for a job where nothing ever changes, this isn’t it.
This business is mid-way through a multi-million-pound investment across all its sites — which means more automation, new production lines, and shiny new toys for you to keep running.

They’re not just throwing money at machines either. They’ve been shifting the culture, looking after their people better, and actually promoting from within. If you’re good, you won’t have to wait years for someone to retire before you move up.

The work:

• Fixing and preventing breakdowns on high-speed production kit.

• Diagnosing mechanical and electrical faults (and knowing the difference between the two).

• Looking after PLC-controlled systems, pumps, valves, hydraulics, and pneumatics.

• PPM, CMMS, and general “keep it running” duties.

• Finding ways to make the place more reliable without being asked every five minutes.

What you’ll need:

• Time-served apprenticeship in mechanical or electrical engineering.

• FMCG experience would help, but if you’ve been in any fast-paced manufacturing environment, you’ll cope.

• Strong mechanical skills, plus enough electrical knowledge to fault-find without blowing anything up.

• Comfortable working on your own and making decisions.

The package:

• £55k + bonus after probation.

• Excellent healthcare.

• More holiday than you’ll probably take.

• Real career progression, not just the promise of it.

If you’re mechanically biased but electrically capable, you’ll fit right in. And if you’re electrically biased but mechanically capable, you’ll also fit right in. Basically, if you can do both, they want to hear from you.
