Job Description

Maintenance Technician

£42,000 – £50,000 Including Shift Allowance DOE

Day and Night Shift (4on 4off)

my client welcome applicants from craft, mechanical or electrical backgrounds, as well as those who are already multi-skilled. Whether your experience comes from manufacturing, the armed forces, or another sector, they value your expertise and transferable skills.

The role:

• Complete clear, accurate shift handovers to ensure continuity of planned and reactive work.
• Use the site’s planned maintenance / CMMS system to prioritise tasks, support fault-finding and capture corrective actions (including RCFA where required).
• Diagnose faults and test, repair and maintain a range of mechanical and electrical manufacturing equipment.
• Proactively identify early signs of failure, log findings accurately and maintain strong data quality within the CMMS.
• Liaise with OEMs and external suppliers for technical support; support parts identification and expedite spares when required.
• Lead shift-based problem solving where the corrective action isn’t immediately clear, driving ownership through to closure.
• Work collaboratively with the on-shift response team to ensure fast, safe restoration of equipment availability.
• Coach operators on basic asset care tasks to improve equipment reliability and reduce repeat breakdowns.
• Identify and implement continuous improvements that improve safety, uptime, quality and cost.
• Spot lifecycle / obsolescence risks and raise recommendations for repair, refurbishment or replacement planning.
• Use structured root cause analysis tools (e.g., 5 Why, basic OE/CI techniques) through to robust, sustainable fixes.
• Support and maintain 5S standards within workshops, stores and maintenance areas.

The Person:

• Time-served / recognised engineering apprenticeship.
• Strong experience in maintenance engineering within a manufacturing environment.
• Mechanical or Electrical bias with proven hands‑on fault finding capability.
• Comfortable working as a multiskilled engineer in a fast‑paced production setting.
• Qualification to ONC/HNC level (or equivalent experience).
• Relevant electrical qualification (where applicable to your bias).

Desirable

• IOSHH / NEBOSH (or equivalent H&S qualification/awareness).
• Experience contributing to RCFA / RCA and improvement activity beyond “fix and go”.

Benefits

• Clear career development pathways and long-term prospects.
• Generous annual leave allowance (276 hours).
• Access to the Rewards Platform with discounts across major retailers.
• Onsite parking.
• Supportive team environment.
• Life assurance and pension scheme.
• 5% annual bonus?
