The Opportunity

My client is recruiting for a Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join their well-established and forward-thinking manufacturing business operating a double day shift pattern.

This is more than a reactive maintenance role. You ll be a key part of a site that actively promotes Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Continuous Improvement (CI), giving you the opportunity to influence reliability strategy, drive improvements, and play a hands-on role in enhancing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). They are also offering full PLC training.

The Role

Reporting to the Maintenance Shift Leader, you will provide hands-on engineering support to production, ensuring equipment reliability, minimising downtime, and maintaining high engineering standards across site.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive breakdown support
• Diagnosing and resolving mechanical, electrical, and basic PLC/control faults
• Supporting root cause analysis (RCA) to prevent repeat failures
• Actively contributing to TPM activities including autonomous maintenance support and asset care development
• Identifying and implementing Continuous Improvement initiatives to improve reliability, reduce waste, and enhance performance
• Monitoring equipment performance data and supporting OEE improvement plans
• Assisting with small projects, upgrades, and equipment modifications
• Ensuring all work is completed safely, efficiently, and to high quality standards

This role offers genuine involvement in CI projects and structured improvement activities not just firefighting breakdowns.

TPM & Continuous Improvement Involvement

• Participate in TPM pillars and improvement workshops
• Contribute to root cause investigations and long-term reliability solutions
• Support development of maintenance standards and best practices
• Work closely with production teams to improve asset ownership and performance
• Be involved in planned engineering projects and equipment upgrades

If you enjoy improving systems rather than just fixing faults, this environment will suit you.

Requirements

• Proven experience in a multi skilled maintenance engineering role within manufacturing or industrial environments
• Strong fault-finding skills across mechanical and/or electrical systems
• Basic PLC fault-finding capability (training available for development)
• Experience contributing to CI, TPM, or reliability improvement initiatives (desirable but not essential)
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, production-focused environment
• Strong commitment to health & safety and engineering best practice
