Lead Maintenance Engineer

Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer – Suez Shift

Location; Tamworth

We are working with a well-established plastics manufacturing business in Tamworth that is in the middle of a £6 million investment programme. The site is moving away from a reactive, firefighting approach to maintenance and building a proactive, continuous improvement culture, with new equipment and several refurbishment projects planned over the next 12 months. This is a great opportunity for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer who wants a £54,000 salary, a genuine work-life balance and the chance to shape how engineering is done on site.

These are three brand-new positions, created to strengthen the existing engineering team and take it to 14. You will work a Suez shift pattern of 5 on, 5 off, rotating between 12-hour days and nights, which means you work roughly half the days in the year and get a long Friday-to-Sunday weekend plus one full weekend off every month. Day to day you will be looking after the machinery and facilities across the plant, with a growing emphasis on planned maintenance and improvement, alongside hands-on involvement in the installation of new equipment and the refurbishment projects coming through.

This will suit a multi-skilled engineer from a manufacturing or FMCG background who wants to move away from constant breakdowns and into a role where their ideas are heard and acted on. We are happy to talk to both electrically and mechanically biased engineers. With a change in shift pattern, new investment and a business that has a track record of funding further qualifications for its engineers, it is a great time to join.

Responsibilities of a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer:

• Carry out planned and reactive maintenance across production machinery and site facilities to keep the plant running safely and efficiently
• Help drive the shift from reactive maintenance to a proactive, continuous improvement approach
• Assist with the installation and commissioning of new equipment and site refurbishment projects
• Work as part of a 14-strong engineering team to meet agreed departmental objectives
• Follow permits to work, safe systems of work and risk assessments at all times
• Support compliance with health, safety, environmental and quality policies and help maintain a strong safety culture across the site
• Maintain housekeeping standards within your areas of responsibility

Skills & Qualifications of a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer:

• Recognised engineering qualification at Level 3 or above (NVQ, City & Guilds, ONC or equivalent)
• Multi-skilled engineer with strong electrical skills, either electrically or mechanically biased
• Experience maintaining machinery in a manufacturing environment
• Background in FMCG, plastics or high-volume manufacturing is desirable
• A proactive approach and an interest in continuous improvement

Benefits of a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer:

• Basic salary of £55,000 per year
• Suez shift pattern – 5 on, 5 off, 12-hour days and nights, meaning you work roughly half the days in the year
• One long weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and one full weekend off every month
• 22 days holiday plus bank holidays, rising by one day for each year of service up to 25 days
• Excellent pension scheme
• Genuine career progression, with enhanced qualifications paid for and fully supported by the business
• Free onsite parking
