Yolk Recruitment is supporting an established Welsh manufacturer in their search for a Multi-Skilled Engineer with a strong Electrical bias. This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing engineering team, playing a key role in maintaining production performance, improving equipment reliability, and supporting continuous improvement initiatives across the site.

Working a rotating three-shift pattern covering mornings, afternoons and nights, you'll be responsible for keeping manufacturing operations running safely, efficiently and reliably through a combination of reactive maintenance, planned preventative maintenance, fault finding and engineering improvements.

As a Multi-Skilled Engineer, you'll work across electrical and mechanical systems to ensure plant performance is maintained at the highest level. Key responsibilities will include:

• Responding quickly to electrical and mechanical breakdowns to minimise production downtime.
• Diagnosing faults and carrying out repairs across production machinery, automated equipment and site services.
• Completing planned preventative maintenance (PPM) activities and inspections to a high standard.
• Carrying out mechanical maintenance and breakdown repairs as part of a multi-skilled engineering team.
• Identifying recurring equipment issues and supporting root cause analysis activities.
• Implementing corrective actions to improve reliability and prevent repeat failures.
• Working closely with production teams to maximise equipment availability and performance.
• Supporting engineering projects, machinery upgrades, installations and continuous improvement activities.
• Maintaining accurate maintenance records through the site's maintenance management system.
• Following safe systems of work, risk assessments, isolation procedures and LOTOTO processes.
• Contributing to high housekeeping, quality and safety standards across engineering and production areas.
• Supporting the development of engineering standards, maintenance procedures and best practices.

We're looking for a proactive maintenance engineer who enjoys fault finding, solving technical problems and improving equipment reliability.

You'll ideally have:

• An Electrical Engineering qualification such as NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds, HNC/HND or equivalent.
• Previous maintenance engineering experience within manufacturing, production or industrial environments.
• Strong electrical fault-finding, diagnostics and repair experience.
• Good mechanical maintenance knowledge and practical experience.
• Experience working on industrial machinery, automated equipment and production systems.
• Knowledge of preventative maintenance principles and reliability-focused maintenance practices.
• A proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues before they impact production.
• The ability to prioritise workloads effectively in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with production colleagues.
• A strong commitment to health and safety, engineering standards and continuous improvement.

• Join a respected Welsh manufacturer with a strong heritage and growing operation.
• Work within a supportive engineering team where your ideas and improvements are valued.
• Gain exposure to a varied manufacturing environment with modern production equipment.
• Play a key role in reliability improvement and engineering enhancement projects.
• Attractive benefits package including pension scheme, company perks and generous annual leave.
• Long-term career stability with a business committed to investment and continuous improvement.
