• Supportive, experienced engineering team

The Opportunity

This isn’t your typical maintenance role.

You’ll be working in a practical, hands‑on environment maintaining and repairing a wide range of machinery and equipment. The site operates a mix of older and modern equipment, so the role requires a strong mechanical mindset rather than just swapping parts.

If you enjoy getting stuck into machinery, diagnosing faults, stripping down components, and carrying out proper repairs — this role will give you that.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Maintaining and repairing a variety of mechanical equipment
• Fault finding on gearboxes, bearings, shafts, belts and drive systems
• Working on rollers, rotating equipment and material handling systems
• Carrying out component repairs and rebuilds
• Supporting hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Completing PPMs and responding to breakdowns
• Supporting improvement work across the site

What We’re Looking For

• A hands‑on engineer who enjoys practical mechanical work
• Someone comfortable working on a variety of machinery (not just automated lines)
• Strong fault‑finding and problem‑solving ability
• A reliable team player who can also work independently
• Apprentice trained or time‑served

Why This Role Stands Out

• No shifts – strong work‑life balance
• Early Friday finish
• Proper hands‑on engineering (strip, repair, rebuild)
• Variety of machinery — no two days the same
• Stable, long-term opportunity
