Are you a hands-on Maintenance Engineer with a strong electrical background and a knack for solving real engineering problems?
We’re recruiting on behalf of a long-established industrial engineering business based in Crewkerne, Somerset. They’re known for their custom, low-volume production for global clients and are now seeking a skilled Electrical Maintenance Engineer to join their team.
This is a 70/30 electrical/mechanical role — ideal for someone who’s confident working with electrical systems but can also turn their hand to mechanical work when needed.

What You’ll Be Doing:
Reactive and preventative maintenance across a variety of plant and machinery
Electrical fault finding, testing, installation, and repair — including lighting, alarm systems, wiring, and control panels
Supporting mechanical maintenance: hydraulics, pneumatics, conveyors, and production equipment
Reading and interpreting electrical and mechanical diagrams, manuals, and specs
Diagnosing faults quickly to reduce downtime and support production
Performing inspections, keeping maintenance logs, and complying with safety standards
What We’re Looking For:
At least 3 years’ experience in a maintenance role within a manufacturing or industrial setting
Proven electrical expertise – ideally with 18th Edition and NVQ Level 3 or equivalent
Mechanical competence and willingness to assist with non-electrical tasks when needed
Experience with preventative and corrective maintenance routines
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings
Strong problem-solving skills, good communication, and a proactive attitude
HNC/HND or multi-skilled background would be a bonus
What’s On Offer:
Competitive hourly pay based on skills and experience
Quarterly bonus scheme
Day shift hours (early finish every Friday)
Company pension + sick pay (after qualifying period)
Free on-site parking
Health & wellbeing programme
A long-term role in a business with a century of history and a modern approach to people and performance

You must have the right to work in the UK
