Is this the next step in your career Find out if you are the right candidate by reading through the complete overview below.
Choose your own hours. Own your own patch.
You're the kind of engineer who likes to fix things properly not just patch them up. But right now, you're probably firefighting more than you'd like, reacting to breakdowns without the time or space to prevent them.
This job is different. It's a solo Maintenance Engineer role in a growing injection moulding business where youll have autonomy to put proper processes in place. Planned and preventative maintenance is the goal, and youll have the chance to build that structure from the ground up.
Yes, you'll get your hands dirty. This is a hands-on role, looking after ageing machinery that needs attention and investment. But you wont be alone in terms of support: youll work closely with setters and operators who know how the machines should run, and youll have access to manufacturers for technical advice when needed
Youll report to the Production Managerand sit alongside the informal leadership team. Its a small business around 60 people with a flat structure and an owner-MD whos in the thick of it. The culture is practical, no-nonsense and focused on making things better, not just bigger.
Whats in it for you:
£45,000 salary + guaranteed £3,000 bonus (for on-call/overtime flexibility)
Flex your hours: choose your start and finish to suit you
Freedom to shape how maintenance is done, not just follow whats already there
Be part of the leadership conversations, not just a name on a rota
What youll need:
Electrical bias (17th/18th edition), with fault-finding and ladder logic experience
Mechanical know-how too (pneumatics/hydraulics), and not afraid to get stuck in
Happy working solo and influencing production teams to prioritise maintenance
Any moulding/plastics experience is a bonus, not a must
