Hutchison Ports (UK) - Port of Felixstowe is the largest deep-water Port in the UK and to support our continued growth and development we are looking to recruit Maintenance Engineer/Machinist into our Engineering department. Working with other departments at the Port of Felixstowe along the way to help focus and further drive HPUK business strategy objectives including our NetZero targets and further projects.
The role holder will be responsible for undertaking maintenance, repairs, manual machining and upgrades to maintain mechanical and electrical systems across the Port of Felixstowe’s infrastructure. This role involves working collaboratively across the engineering department to support both routine operations and new projects. We are looking for experienced engineers for three roles, one is primarily mechanically based working on heavy industrial equipment completing servicing, repairs, upgrades and improvements, the second position is located in the same area as the first and also supports heavy industrial equipment. However, it places a stronger emphasis on manual machining—rather than CNC—including, but not limited to, work on small to large lathes, milling machines, radial drills, and shapers. The role also requires proficiency in performing high-accuracy measurements using advanced metrology tools and techniques to ensure components meet precise specifications and tolerances. and finally the third role has a focus on breakdowns of both mechanical and electrical systems, where a key aspect of the position includes diagnosing and resolving complex faults, often in the absence of written Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Both roles require a high level of technical expertise and problem-solving ability. The role also ensures compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards while maintaining accurate documentation of all work carried out.
