Ready for a Maintenance Role Where Your Skills Actually Matter?
If you're an electrically biased Maintenance Technician who prefers real engineering over babysitting idle machinery, this role is worth a look. You'll work Monday-Thursday on a rotating early/late shift pattern, supporting a busy automated assembly environment where your decisions genuinely influence uptime, quality and performance.
This is a role where you'll make a visible difference to how well the plant runs - and you'll be trusted to get on with the job.
What You Will Do
- Provide maintenance and technical support across automated assembly equipment including jigs, fixtures, ultrasonic welders, torque tools and sensors.
- Carry out electrical fault-finding on 3-phase industrial systems, panel work and safe isolation.
- Read electrical drawings and replace faulty components quickly and accurately.
- Resolve mechanical issues involving hydraulics and pneumatics.
- Handle common faults such as sensor recalibration, fibre-optic replacements and ultrasonic issues.
- Support preventative maintenance and use the CMMS to keep on top of performance and downtime.
- Take part in continuous improvement activity including 8D, A3 and plant audits.
- Ensure safety standards and compliance are maintained, including lockout/tagout, safe systems of work, contractor permits, PPE and environmental requirements.
Maintenance Technician
- Support installation, commissioning and integration of new equipment.
What You Will Bring
- Fully electrically qualified - ideally time-served, with a strong electrical bias (around 70/30).
- Confident working with industrial 3-phase systems, panels and lock-off procedures.
- Strong electrical fault-finding and problem-solving skills.
- Basic but competent mechanical skills: hydraulics, pneumatics, general assembly equipment.
- Ability to work independently, communicate clearly and make good decisions under pressure.
- Experience in automated/assembly environments (automotive, FMCG, moulding etc.).
- A safety-first mindset and an organised, methodical approach to maintenance.
