Are you an experienced Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer with a strong mechanical bias looking for a new opportunity within a manufacturing environment?

We are working with an established manufacturing business that is looking to appoint a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join its engineering team following the departure of an existing team member.

This is a hands-on role suited to an engineer who enjoys working with a wide range of industrial machinery and wants the opportunity to develop their skills and progress within the business.

The successful candidate will be joining a well-established engineering function, with investment in training, site and machinery familiarisation, alongside plenty of scope for future progression into Team Leader, Supervisor and potentially Engineering Management positions.

Working as part of the engineering team, you will be responsible for carrying out both planned and reactive maintenance across a range of manufacturing machinery.

The role is approximately 70% mechanical / 30% electrical, making it particularly well suited to a mechanically biased Multi-Skilled Engineer who is comfortable carrying out electrical fault-finding when required.

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance across the manufacturing site.

• Respond to breakdowns and minimise production downtime.

• Fault-find and repair mechanical and electrical issues.

• Maintain and repair a range of heavy industrial processing equipment.

• Work on granulators, shredders, mixers and blenders.

• Maintain conveyors, belts, chains, motors and associated equipment.

• Assist with the installation and commissioning of new machinery.

• Identify potential improvements to equipment reliability and performance.

• Work safely and ensure all maintenance activities comply with company procedures.

• Record maintenance activities and provide accurate information regarding work completed.

• Support the wider engineering team and production departments when required.

The site offers a varied engineering environment, including:

• Granulators

• Shredders

• Mixers

• Blenders

• Conveyors

• Belts and chains

• Motors

• Production machinery

• New machinery and equipment installations

The ideal candidate will be an experienced Mechanical Maintenance Engineer or Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer with a strong mechanical background.

• NVQ Level 3 in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.

• Minimum 3 years' industrial maintenance experience.

• Experience within a manufacturing environment.

• Strong mechanical maintenance and fault-finding skills.

• Some electrical maintenance/fault-finding capability.

• Experience carrying out both planned and reactive maintenance.

• A proactive approach to identifying and resolving engineering issues.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a wider engineering team.

The company is committed to investing in its engineering team. While you'll ideally be able to hit the ground running, you'll receive site and machinery familiarisation to ensure you become fully comfortable with the equipment.

There is also excellent scope for career progression, with potential opportunities to move into Team Leader, Supervisor and management positions as the engineering function continues to develop.

• £39,000 basic salary

• No additional shift allowance

• Pension scheme

• 18 days holiday + bank holidays

• Full-time permanent position

• Training and machinery familiarisation

• Genuine career progression opportunities
