Shotton Mill Limited | Day & Shift Roles Available
This isn’t just another maintenance role.
This is your chance to be part of one of the UK’s most ambitious and advanced manufacturing projects.
In partnership with Shotton Mill Limited, Mechspan is looking for E&I Technicians to join a growing engineering team at a pivotal moment—the commissioning of state-of-the-art Valmet paper machines and a cutting-edge production facility.
If you’re driven by challenge, innovation, and the chance to help shape a facility from the ground up, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Work on brand-new, industry-leading technology
* Be part of a major UK manufacturing transformation
* Join a business with ambitious growth plans and long-term investment
* Play a hands-on role in bringing complex systems to life
You won’t just maintain equipment—you’ll help build, improve, and optimise a world-class operation.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll take a key role in supporting and developing critical plant systems across:
* Container Board (cardboard) new machine
* Tissue production – new machine
* 50Mw – New CHP plant
* Biofuel power generation
* Waste wood processing
* Effluent & Water treatment
* Recycling facilities and supporting infrastructure
Day to day, you’ll:
* Respond to breakdowns and get systems back online quickly
* Diagnose faults and drive a continuous improvement strategy
* Support commissioning of major projects
* Deliver planned maintenance and safety preventative maintenance.
* Help shape procedures, standards, and documentation
This is a role where your expertise truly makes an impact.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for engineers who are:
* Technically strong, with a completed apprenticeship and HNC (or equivalent)
* Confident reading electrical schematics and control systems
* Experienced with drives, instrumentation, PLCs and DCS systems
* Passionate about solving problems and improving performance
Above all, we’re looking for people who want to grow with the business and be part of something bigger.
What You’ll Get
* £47,000 – £62,000 depending on role and shift pattern
* 15% pension contribution (10% employer / 5% employee)
* 25 days annual leave (shift allowance built into rota)
* 6 additional F days (1/2 day per month) for Day roles
* Private healthcare access
Plus the opportunity to work on a project that will define the future of the site.
Be Part of It
Shotton Mill is building one of the most advanced, sustainable manufacturing environments in the UK—and this is your chance to be part of it from the beginning.
