Job Title: Maintenance Lead
Location: Tutbury
Salary: Up to £55,000

If you're an experienced engineer who’s tired of red tape, constant firefighting, and being micromanaged, this could be the role you’ve been looking for.
We’re recruiting for a Maintenance Lead to take full ownership of the engineering function at a well established site in Derby. This is a standalone role where you’ll have the freedom and trust to run things properly, without layers of management getting in the way.
You’ll be the go to person for engineering on site. The person who keeps things running, plans maintenance the right way, and calls in specialist contractors when needed. You’ll have the autonomy to improve systems, manage the PPM schedule, and put your own stamp on how engineering is run.
Most importantly, this is a role that offers genuine work life balance. There are no night shifts and no weekend work, allowing you to focus on doing a good job during the day and switching off afterwards.
What you’ll be doing
Taking full ownership of the site’s engineering and maintenance activities
Managing and developing the planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedule
Responding to breakdowns and resolving issues quickly and effectively
Managing and coordinating external contractors when specialist work is required
Working with manufacturers and suppliers when needed
Supporting site projects and improvements
Continuously improving how engineering operates on site
Why this role stands out
Up to £55,000 salary
Monday to Friday role – no nights and no weekends
A true standalone position with autonomy
The freedom to run engineering your way
The chance to make a real impact on how the site operates
What we’re looking for
A hands on engineer with strong maintenance experience
Someone comfortable working independently and taking ownership
Experience working with contractors and external suppliers
A practical problem solver who can manage breakdowns and preventative maintenance
Someone who enjoys improving systems rather than just maintaining them
