Have you recently completed your apprenticeship, or are you a time-served Maintenance Engineer with experience in a fast-paced production environment?
We're working with a long-established manufacturer that operates a highly automated site and is investing in both its people and plant. They're currently looking to recruit an electrically bias Day Engineer into their team, offering a stable shift pattern, a competitive salary, and a strong benefits package.
This is a great opportunity for someone with an electrical bias who enjoys problem solving, working on a wide range of kit, and being part of a tight-knit team where ideas and improvements are welcomed.
This is what you'll be doing:
You'll play a key role in ensuring the plant runs smoothly by carrying out planned maintenance, responding quickly to breakdowns, and supporting production with ongoing repair work. The site runs critical utility systems such as steam and compressed air, so you'll be involved in boiler checks and maintenance, as well as working across motors, conveyors, and drive systems.
Key responsibilities include:

Working with the Engineering Manager to plan long-term repair work and reduce repeat failures.
Isolating equipment and issuing permits to work to contractors and colleagues.
Recording work completed in the CMMS system and communicating spare part needs.
Maintaining a safe working environment and actively supporting site H&S standards.
Using initiative to fix leaks, tidy up work areas, and support other departments where needed.
The experience you'll bring to the team:
Electrically biased - ideally with 17th/18th Edition and strong fault-finding skills
Confident working with motors, drives, conveyors, and bucket elevators
Comfortable working with steam and pressure systems (BOAS or equivalent beneficial)
PLC fault-finding knowledge (no programming required)
Positive attitude and a hands-on approach to problem-solving
Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
Good awareness of Health & Safety and COSHH
Flexibility to provide night shift cover on occasion when needed
And this is what you'll get in return:
Starting salary of circa £48,000
Private Medical Insurance
35 days holiday including bank holidays
Enhanced pension contributions after 12 months
Career development and progression opportunities
Support through an Employee Assistance Programme
Cycle to work scheme, on site parking, discounts and more!
