Salary: £40,000 – £43,000 per year
Benefits
* Days-based role – no shifts
* Early finish every Friday
* Stable, long-term opportunity
* Hands‑on mechanical work (not just line maintenance)
* Supportive, experienced engineering team
Must Haves
* Strong mechanical maintenance background
* Experience working within a manufacturing or workshop environment

The Opportunity
This isn’t your typical maintenance role.
You’ll be working in a practical, hands‑on environment maintaining and repairing a wide range of machinery and equipment. The site operates a mix of older and modern equipment, so the role requires a strong mechanical mindset rather than just swapping parts.
If you enjoy getting stuck into machinery, diagnosing faults, stripping down components, and carrying out proper repairs — this role will give you that.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Maintaining and repairing a variety of mechanical equipment
* Fault finding on gearboxes, bearings, shafts, belts and drive systems
* Working on rollers, rotating equipment and material handling systems
* Carrying out component repairs and rebuilds
* Supporting hydraulic and pneumatic systems
* Completing PPMs and responding to breakdowns
* Supporting improvement work across the site
What We’re Looking For
* A hands‑on engineer who enjoys practical mechanical work
* Someone comfortable working on a variety of machinery (not just automated lines)
* Strong fault‑finding and problem‑solving ability
* A reliable team player who can also work independently
* Apprentice trained or time‑served
Why This Role Stands Out
* No shifts – strong work‑life balance
* Early Friday finish
* Proper hands‑on engineering (strip, repair, rebuild)
* Variety of machinery — no two days the same
* Stable, long-term opportunity
