We are currently recruiting for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join an established manufacturing business.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Maintenance Engineer who enjoys hands-on engineering, fault finding and keeping production machinery running efficiently.
The business is looking for someone with a solid mechanical maintenance background, ideally with some electrical knowledge. An 80/20 or 70/30 mechanical-to-electrical split would be absolutely fine, so you don't need to be an electrically biased engineer to be considered.

Key Responsibilities
- Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive maintenance across a range of manufacturing machinery and equipment.
- Diagnose and repair mechanical breakdowns, ensuring production downtime is kept to a minimum.
- Work on mechanical systems including hydraulics, pneumatics, bearings, gearboxes, motors and other associated equipment.
- Support the installation, commissioning and maintenance of new machinery.
- Carry out basic electrical fault finding and repairs where competent.
- Identify opportunities to improve machinery reliability and overall equipment performance.
- Work closely with production teams to prioritise maintenance activities.
- Ensure all work is carried out safely, following relevant health and safety procedures.
- Maintain accurate maintenance records and communicate effectively with the wider engineering team.

Skills & Experience Required
- Previous experience working as a Maintenance Engineer, Mechanical Maintenance Engineer or Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer within a manufacturing or industrial environment.
- Strong mechanical fault-finding and maintenance experience.
- Good working knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics and general mechanical systems.
- Experience carrying out both reactive maintenance and planned preventative maintenance.
- Relevant mechanical or engineering qualifications (NVQ, City & Guilds, apprenticeship or equivalent).
- A proactive approach to problem-solving and the ability to work independently.

Desirable (Not Essential)
- Electrical fault-finding experience, including three-phase systems.
- PLC fault-finding or diagnostic experience.
- 16th, 17th or 18th Edition electrical qualifications.
- Experience installing or commissioning manufacturing equipment.
