Job description

I'm currently recruiting on behalf of an established, high-tech manufacturing business for an experienced Facilities Engineer to join their site engineering and maintenance team.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a company operating in a highly regulated manufacturing environment, supporting critical plant, facilities, and production equipment to ensure maximum uptime, safety, and operational performance.

The Role

Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you'll play a key role in delivering planned preventative maintenance, responding to equipment breakdowns, and supporting continuous improvement initiatives across the site.

The basic salary will be £35-£40k + 30% shift allowance on top of basic pay. The shifts are 7:30am-5:30pm 5 days and then 3 days off.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Carrying out planned and reactive maintenance across plant and facilities.
  • Diagnosing and resolving mechanical faults to minimise downtime.
  • Supporting basic electrical fault finding and maintenance activities.
  • Ensuring all maintenance activities comply with health & safety and statutory requirements.
  • Managing preventative maintenance schedules and accurately recording work completed.
  • Working with external contractors and service providers where required.
  • Supporting continuous improvement projects and implementing engineering best practices.
  • Participating in an on-call rota to provide out-of-hours breakdown support.

About You

We're looking for someone with a strong mechanical maintenance background who also has basic electrical maintenance experience. This role would suit an engineer who is confident working on mechanical systems while being comfortable carrying out first-line electrical fault finding and maintenance.

Ideally you'll have:

  • Experience within a manufacturing, industrial, or production environment.
  • Strong mechanical maintenance and fault-finding skills.
  • Basic electrical maintenance knowledge (motors, sensors, isolations, fault finding, etc.).
  • Experience with planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive maintenance.
  • A proactive approach to problem solving and continuous improvement.
  • Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a maintenance team.

If you're looking for a varied maintenance role within a stable and innovative manufacturing business, I'd be happy to discuss the opportunity in more detail.
