The Role

This is a hands‑on maintenance role supporting multiple production lines in a large‑scale, automated manufacturing facility. Engineers work across a mix of legacy machinery and modern equipment, providing strong technical variety.

The site has recently moved away from purely reactive maintenance and now places clear emphasis on:

Planned preventative maintenance (PPMs)
Reliability and fault reduction
Compliance and engineering standards

Key Responsibilities

Electrical and mechanical fault‑finding
Planned maintenance, breakdown response and improvement work
PLC fault‑finding at I/O level
Diagnosing faults across networked systems and safety circuits
Supporting production teams with technical issues
Assisting with Health & Safety compliance and best practice
Working as part of a structured, shift‑based engineering team

Equipment & Environment

You’ll be working on large, industrial production machinery, including:

Conveying and handling systems
Automated and robotic equipment
High‑temperature and process‑driven plant
Packaging and finishing machinery
Heavy mechanical and electrical assets

This is a physically demanding, industrial environment – well suited to engineers who enjoy bigger kit and real‑world fault‑finding rather than clean‑room or lightweight manufacturing.

Essential Experience (Must Have)

Strong electrical or multi‑skilled engineering background
Level 3 or higher qualification in Electrical or Multi‑Skilled Engineering
Proven experience in heavy, fast‑moving industrial manufacturing
PLC fault‑finding experience at I/O level
Experience working with industrial networks and safety circuits
Comfortable working on older plant as well as modern machinery
Strong safety awareness and practical mindset
