- Reading and interpreting electrical wiring diagrams, schematics and mechanical drawings.
- Completing risk assessments, permits to work and LOTO/isolation procedures in line with site safety requirements.
- Accurately recording maintenance activities through the site's CMMS.
- Supporting equipment installations, reliability improvements and root-cause analysis.
- Working closely with production and operational teams to identify opportunities to improve plant reliability.
- Providing out-of-hours support for essential operational systems when required.
- Working alongside external contractors and supporting their activities on site.

- Experience diagnosing faults on automated manufacturing equipment.
- Good knowledge of PLCs, drives, inverters, sensors and three-phase electrical systems.
- Mechanical maintenance experience, including hydraulics, pneumatics, pumps, gearboxes and bearings.
- The ability to confidently read electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and mechanical drawings.
- A strong understanding of health & safety, safe systems of work and isolation procedures.
- Good communication and reporting skills.
- A proactive, positive 'can-do' attitude with a focus on finding solutions.
- A team-player mentality and a commitment to getting the job right first time.
What's on Offer?
- Salary £62,000, depending on experience.
- Overtime opportunities available.
- Monday-Friday working pattern.
- Alternating early and late shifts: Week 1: 05:30-14:00 Week 2: 13:30-22:00
