Keep the wheels turning. Literally.
We're hiring a Maintenance Engineer to support a fast-paced, precision-driven CNC manufacturing environment. This isn't just about fixing what's broken - it's about keeping things running, preventing downtime, and ensuring production never skips a beat.
If you know CNC machines inside out and thrive on being the go-to for fault-finding and fix-it-fast solutions, this one's for you.
What you'll be doing day-to-day
* Diagnosing faults on CNC machinery (fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain control systems ideal)
* Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) on a variety of turning and milling centres
* Responding rapidly to breakdowns to keep production on track
* Replacing mechanical components like spindles, bearings, actuators, etc.
* Handling minor electrical repairs - sensors, relays, safety circuits
* Supporting installations and upgrades of production machinery
* Keeping accurate maintenance logs and tracking parts usage
* Working with production to schedule maintenance around workloads
* Liaising with OEMs when required, or escalating deeper technical issues
What you've likely done before
* Worked in a CNC machine shop or precision engineering environment
* Been the "go-to" person for machine downtime
* Rebuilt a machine bed or swapped a ballscrew in your time
* Diagnosed a fault using schematics (and maybe your ear) before the diagnostics panel caught up
* Balanced time between firefighting and scheduled servicing
* Managed your own spares stock or had strong input into it
* Played a part in reducing unplanned downtime - and have the stats to show it
What we're looking for
* Time-served mechanical engineer or maintenance technician
* Strong CNC fault-finding and repair skills (especially mechanical)
* Familiarity with Fanuc / Siemens / Heidenhain controls
* Confident reading mechanical and basic electrical schematics
* Comfortable working independently and managing priorities
* Someone who takes pride in keeping machines humming and the lights green
What's in it for you?
* A stable role in a well-established site
* The freedom to make an impact (we're big on ownership)
* Clean, tidy shopfloor environment with modern machinery
* Strong engineering support network
* Day shift hours and a team that pulls together
Don't just fix machines - keep production flowing and quality high.
If you're a mechanical-minded problem solver who knows your way around CNC machines, we'd love to hear from you.
