Ready to keep the heart of production beating?
We're looking for a passionate and skilled Mechanical Maintenance Engineer to support our client's existing maintenance engineering team on an initial 3-6 month basis. This position plays a key role in ensuring the smooth, safe, and efficient operation of the high-performance production lines.
In this hands-on role, you won’t just fix things, you’ll be at the center of driving performance, preventing breakdowns before they happen, and constantly improving the machines that power production.
What you’ll be doing:
* Providing technical expertise on maintaining a range of critical production equipment
* Executing advanced preventative and breakdown maintenance to maintain peak line performance and product quality.
* Managing product and size changeovers where needed.
* Completing critical asset care tasks in line with the established maintenance plan
* Using the Central Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to record and monitor all activities.
* Ensuring full QESH (Quality, Environmental, Safety & Hygiene) compliance through regular checks and immediate escalation of any non-conformities.
* Taking part in Health & Safety risk assessments and promoting zero-accident culture.
* Participating in effective shift handovers and team briefings to ensure seamless communication and operations.
Your background:
* A time-served mechanical engineering apprenticeship with NVQ Level 3, or equivelent. Having both a Level 3 NVQ and relevant HNC/HND would be highly beneficial and preferable.
* Strong hands-on experience in fast paced MFCG manufacturing environments.
* Proven ability in fault-finding, handling complex breakdowns, and ensuring machinery availability.
* Confidence in using asset care systems and planning tools like CMMS.
* Previous experience in an FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) environment is a big plus.
Why this role?
* Be part of a high-energy engineering team in a fast-paced, future-facing facility.
* Take ownership of cutting-edge machinery and make a real impact on production uptime.
If you’re a proactive engineer who thrives under pressure, enjoys solving problems, and loves working with complex machinery, I want to hear from you.
My client will also consider applications from candidates looking for contract and/or contract to perm opportunities also.
