Looking for a role that keeps your hands busy and your mind engaged — without the commitment of full‑time hours? We’re hiring a part‑time Maintenance Technician/Engineer to join our friendly team at our Blaydon‑on‑Tyne HQ. We need someone for 24–27 hours per week across Monday, Tuesday and Friday, but we’re very open to adjusting the pattern. If you’d prefer to work just one or two of those days, we’re happy to chat. This role is perfect for someone with solid engineering experience — especially in food manufacturing or packaging — and it’s an excellent fit for retired or semi‑retired engineers who want to stay active and involved.
What you’ll be doing
* Servicing and maintaining factory equipment.
* Calibrating and checking machinery.
* Replacing parts and completing maintenance reports.
* Responding quickly to breakdowns and diagnosing faults.
* Keeping the team updated on progress.
What you’ll bring
* Mechanical or electrical engineering qualifications, or time‑served experience.
* Background in industrial or food manufacturing environments.
* Ability to work independently and handle time‑sensitive repairs.
* Bonus points if you’ve worked with flow‑wrappers or inkjet printers.
