A specialist manufacturer providing solutions for civil and construction projects, with a focus on performance, reliability and long term value is searching for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to support ongoing production and maintenance activity across the UK industrial plant.
This is a hands on role within a close knit engineering team, working a rotating shift pattern and contributing to both reactive and planned maintenance. The site operates a range of bespoke machinery, with a strong emphasis on extrusion and heavy process equipment.
The Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer role:
You will be responsible for maintaining plant and equipment to ensure safe, reliable operation in line with production needs and statutory requirements. The work is varied and practical, involving fault finding, repair, and preventative maintenance across a range of systems.
* Responding to breakdowns across mechanical and electrical systems.

* Supporting installation work and site improvement projects.
* Lean Six Sigma operation.
* Recording all work carried out, including parts used and job notes, via the SAP maintenance system

Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer experience:
* Working experience of extrusion lines and polymer handling systems, large motors, pumps and gearboxes, rotating machinery, hydraulics and pneumatics.
* Temperature control systems and associated instrumentation
* Solid understanding of how materials are handled, dosed and fed through production.
* This role would suit a multi-skilled engineer with a solid industrial background who is comfortable working across a variety of machinery and can take a practical, methodical approach to fault finding.
* Electrical competence, particularly around: Safe isolation, motors and drives.
* Experience within the plastics industry, or working with extrusion processes, would be particularly useful.
* Experience with control systems such as Siemens is useful, but this is not a controls led role.
