Maintenance Engineer | £45,000 + monthly uplift (£3,000/yr) | Littleborough
If you enjoy figuring out why things go wrong and then making sure they stay fixed, this role will suit you. Machines here run hard, breakdowns happen, and you will be the go-to person when something needs attention. The environment is practical and hands-on. The short-term focus will be reacting and resolving issues. Over time you will build processes and systems so the site becomes proactive rather than reactive.
You will work solo as the Maintenance Engineer, but closely with a small team of three experienced Setters. They will raise issues early, and you will diagnose and resolve them. A lot of faults look mechanical at first, but many turn out to be electrical, so strong electrical fault finding will be key.
What you will do:
1. You will be the sites core maintenance engineer working alongside setters and reporting to the Production Manager.
2. You will maintain and improve injection moulding machines and related plant such as driers, chillers, and heaters.
3. Most of the work will involve electrical fault finding, with plenty of mechanical involvement too.
4. You will help define and improve the PPM (planned preventive maintenance) schedule, so it becomes more effective over time.
