You’ll play an important part in keeping the site’s plant and production equipment running safely and efficiently, working across a broad range of machinery including pumps, gearboxes, vessels, mixers, pipework and valves. This is a hands-on position with plenty of variety, suited to someone who enjoys solving problems and getting involved across both day-to-day maintenance and larger improvement projects.
What’s on offer?
* £44,000 – £50,000 per year
* Annual pay increases
* Monday – Friday | 8:00am – 4:30pm
* Overtime available at 1.5x

* Removing, modifying and refitting pipework across the plant
* Servicing, maintaining and repairing pumps, gearboxes, bearings, valves and associated equipment
* Diagnosing mechanical and/or electrical faults and carrying out effective repairs
* Responding to breakdowns and working to minimise production downtime
* Supporting machinery installations, modifications and plant improvement projects

What do you need?
* Previous experience within a Maintenance Engineer, Mechanical Fitter, Electrical Engineer or Multi-Skilled Engineering role
* Apprenticeship-trained, NVQ qualified or equivalent practical engineering experience
* Strong mechanical and/or electrical fault-finding ability
