Maintenance Manager

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Maintenance Manager to lead a small, multi-skilled engineering team within a fast-paced operational environment. This is a hands-on leadership role, ideal for someone who can balance strategic oversight with practical, on-the-tools support across both electrical and mechanical disciplines.

As Maintenance Manager, you will take full responsibility for the performance, reliability, and continuous improvement of site equipment and engineering operations. You will lead from the front—driving standards, developing your team, and actively supporting fault finding and repair activities when required.

This is a key position for someone who thrives in a proactive environment and is passionate about delivering high levels of uptime and engineering excellence.
