A long-established UK manufacturer with multiple nationwide sites is seeking a maintenance engineer to join its high-performing engineering team. Operating from a large, modern facility with over 40 machines, the site runs high-volume production and relies on quick, effective engineering support to keep operations running smoothly.
You'll join an established department led by an experienced Engineering Manager and work alongside a team of multi-skilled maintenance engineers covering both reactive and project-based work. The role is fully reactive, attending breakdowns across a mix of machinery including automated equipment, heating systems, conveyors and production lines. You'll typically start each shift by reviewing overnight issues, prioritising tasks, and handling 3-4 breakdowns before moving onto small improvement projects.
What you'll be doing:

• Responding to machinery breakdowns and prioritising jobs across the site
• Electrical work involving motors, drives, contactors, solenoids, sensors, heating bands and control panels
• Mechanical work including bearings, rollers and pneumatics
• Reading schematics and carrying out electrical tests using a multi meter
• Clear communication with production teams to minimise downtime
• Supporting ongoing site improvements and installation of new equipment

What we're looking for:

• NVQ Level 3 in Engineering
• Strong fault-finding skills (electrical & mechanical)
• Experience working as a maintenance engineer in a manufacturing environment
• Confidence working autonomously on a busy site
• Someone comfortable in a fully reactive environment

Shifts & Package:

• 47,000
• Regular overtime available
• 12 Hour Shifts
• 20 days holiday
• Stable team, long-term role, and ongoing site projects
• Joining a department with multiple experienced maintenance engineers

If you're a hands-on maintenance engineer who enjoys problem-solving, thrives under pressure and wants a stable, long-term role within a busy production environment, this position offers an excellent opportunity.
