Let’s cut to the chase. You’re a hands-on, problem-solving Maintenance Engineer who knows how to keep machines running and breakdowns at bay. If you’re looking for a job where you’ll be sitting in an office all day, this isn’t it.

• Keeping machinery and equipment in tip-top shape.



• Handling breakdowns like a pro—quickly, calmly, and efficiently.



• Getting stuck into fault-finding and general maintenance (strip-downs, inspections, repairs).



• Carrying out planned preventive maintenance (PPM) with precision.



• Always thinking ahead—stocking parts and looking for ways to improve processes.



• Making sure health, safety, and cleanliness standards are never compromised.



What we’re looking for:



• HNC/HND or a recognised apprenticeship in mechanical or electrical engineering.



• A solid grasp of pneumatics and experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.



• Calm under pressure, adaptable, and ready to tackle whatever the day throws at you.



• Detail-oriented with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.



• A team player who knows how to get things done and takes pride in their work.



What’s in it for you?



• Competitive salary



• Enhanced holidays.



• Company sick pay, life insurance, and perks like an EV car scheme and cycle-to-work initiative.
