The Opportunity

An established industrial business is looking for a Maintenance Engineer to join its engineering team and play a key role in keeping its production operation running efficiently.

This is a hands-on engineering position and would suit someone who enjoys getting stuck in, solving problems and working in a busy industrial environment.

• Assist with the installation and commissioning of new process equipment.
• Produce and maintain accurate maintenance records and reports.
• Support the wider production operation with engineering requirements and ad-hoc maintenance tasks.
• Work closely with the existing engineering team to minimise downtime and keep production moving.

You don’t necessarily need to tick every box. The key requirement is someone who is practical, reliable and prepared to get stuck in.

You’ll ideally have:

• An engineering/maintenance background.

• Good mechanical and/or electrical maintenance experience.
• An awareness of Health & Safety procedures and working practices.
• A practical, hands-on approach to problem solving.
• The ability to work as part of a small engineering team.
• Steam boiler experience would be advantageous.
• Forklift licence would be advantageous, with training available where required.
