my client welcome applicants from craft, mechanical or electrical backgrounds, as well as those who are already multi-skilled. Whether your experience comes from manufacturing, the armed forces, or another sector, they value your expertise and transferable skills.

The role:

·       Complete clear, accurate shift handovers to ensure continuity of planned and reactive work.

·       Diagnose faults and test, repair and maintain a range of mechanical and electrical manufacturing equipment.

·       Proactively identify early signs of failure, log findings accurately and maintain strong data quality within the CMMS.

·       Liaise with OEMs and external suppliers for technical support; support parts identification and expedite spares when required.

·       Lead shift-based problem solving where the corrective action isn’t immediately clear, driving ownership through to closure.

·       Work collaboratively with the on-shift response team to ensure fast, safe restoration of equipment availability.

·       Coach operators on basic asset care tasks to improve equipment reliability and reduce repeat breakdowns.

·       Identify and implement continuous improvements that improve safety, uptime, quality and cost.

·       Spot lifecycle / obsolescence risks and raise recommendations for repair, refurbishment or replacement planning.

·       Use structured root cause analysis tools (e.g., 5 Why, basic OE/CI techniques) through to robust, sustainable fixes.

·       Support and maintain 5S standards within workshops, stores and maintenance areas.

The Person:

·       Time-served / recognised engineering apprenticeship.

·       Strong experience in maintenance engineering within a manufacturing environment.

·       Relevant electrical qualification (where applicable to your bias)

Desirable
