Are you tired of firefighting breakdowns instead of fixing the root cause? This is an opportunity to step into a true reliability-led engineering role within a fast-paced automotive manufacturing environment. You will take ownership of plant performance, reduce failure before it happens and play a key part in improving overall equipment effectiveness across the site. The hiring manager is open to strong multi-skilled Maintenance Engineers who want to step up into a more reliability-focused position and develop their PLC capability further. What You Will Do: - Analyse equipment data across the plant to predict and prevent machine failure before it impacts production. - Develop and enhance preventative maintenance strategies to reduce downtime and extend asset life. - Lead FMEA and structured root cause analysis to deliver permanent corrective actions. - Diagnose and improve mechanical, electrical and PLC-related issues within automated production equipment. - Maintain and update machine software to ensure maximum availability and performance. - Support and develop Maintenance Technicians in TPM and PLC capability. - Manage maintenance suppliers and subcontractors, ensuring cost, quality and delivery objectives are achieved. - Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and support the implementation of new digital tools across the facility. What You Will Bring: - time-served via a recognised Electrical or Mechanical apprenticeship, with NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Electrical, Mechanical or Mechatronic Engineering or equivalent experience supported by a Wiring Regulations certificate (17th or 18th Edition) - Strong background in plant maintenance and preventative maintenance within a manufacturing environment. - Experience with reliability methodologies such as FMEA or structured root cause analysis is desirable. - PLC programming and troubleshooting experience - this can be basic level, with a genuine desire to develop further. - Experience working within a fast-paced manufacturing environment - automotive experience desirable. - A proactive, data-led mindset and the ambition to move from reactive maintenance into a more strategic reliability role. This role is central to improving plant stability, reducing unplanned downtime and increasing long-term equipment performance. You will have real ownership, real influence and the opportunity to move the site from reactive maintenance towards a structured, predictive reliability model. Location: Based at a well-established manufacturing facility in the West Midlands, within easy reach of Lichfield, Tamworth and surrounding areas. Interested? If you are a strong multi-skilled engineer ready to step up into a reliability-focused role and grow your PLC expertise, this is worth a conversation.
