The Role

This is a hands‑on maintenance role supporting multiple production lines in a large‑scale, automated manufacturing facility . Engineers work across a mix of legacy machinery and modern equipment , providing strong technical variety.

The site has recently moved away from purely reactive maintenance and now places clear emphasis on:

• Planned preventative maintenance (PPMs)
• Reliability and fault reduction
• Compliance and engineering standards

Key Responsibilities

• Electrical and mechanical fault‑finding
• Planned maintenance, breakdown response and improvement work
• PLC fault‑finding at I/O level
• Diagnosing faults across networked systems and safety circuits
• Supporting production teams with technical issues
• Assisting with Health & Safety compliance and best practice
• Working as part of a structured, shift‑based engineering team

Equipment & Environment

You'll be working on large, industrial production machinery , including:

• Conveying and handling systems
• Automated and robotic equipment
• High‑temperature and process‑driven plant
• Packaging and finishing machinery
• Heavy mechanical and electrical assets

This is a physically demanding, industrial environment - well suited to engineers who enjoy bigger kit and real‑world fault‑finding rather than clean‑room or lightweight manufacturing.

Essential Experience (Must Have)

• Strong electrical or multi‑skilled engineering background
• Level 3 or higher qualification in Electrical or Multi‑Skilled Engineering
• Proven experience in heavy, fast‑moving industrial manufacturing
• PLC fault‑finding experience at I/O level
• Experience working with industrial networks and safety circuits
• Comfortable working on older plant as well as modern machinery
• Strong safety awareness and practical mindset
