Shift engineer

Birmingham (West Midlands)
The Sterling Choice
Shift engineer
Posted: 7 August
Offer description

4 on, 4 off | Days and Nights | Real Engineering. Not Keyboard Warrior Work.

This role is hands-on. No clipboard. No corporate nonsense. Just solid engineering work keeping a busy site running, improving, and not falling to bits.

You’ll be part of a team that actually does the job, not just talks about doing it. You’ll be working on heavy industrial kit – motors, hydraulics, boilers, the good stuff – diagnosing problems, fixing faults, and improving the plant while you’re at it.

This isn't a "reactive maintenance" gig where you're chasing your tail all day. There’s proper PPM work, project input, shutdown/start-up cover, and the expectation that if something’s wrong, you don’t wait to be told to sort it.

The role:

Continental shifts: 2 days, 2 nights, then 4 off (12-hour shifts)
Diagnose and repair faults on plant machinery (not just turn it off and on again)
Work on mechanical and electrical systems – you'll need to be properly multi-skilled
Support site improvement projects – not just bodge jobs to get it through the shift
Keep safety and housekeeping high – because greasy rags and trip hazards don’t make you a better engineer
You’ll need:

Proper engineering experience – heavy kit, hydraulics, motors, steam systems
Mechanical AND electrical skills (if you’ve only got one, expect to learn the other)
A qualification – BTEC or equivalent is fine, but if you’ve got the experience, we’re listening
The ability to get stuck in, solve problems, and work as part of a no-nonsense team

You’ll be working closely with the Shift Plant Engineer and a solid bunch of internal stakeholders. You’ll also be dealing with external contractors – ideally making sure they don’t slow things down too much.

The company?

They're specific in their industry. So it’s a serious job, with serious kit, and safety standards to match.

You’ll be expected to take responsibility, think for yourself, and be the kind of engineer who doesn’t need a babysitter.

If that sounds like you, apply now. If not? Probably best you scroll on
