Multi-skilled Maintenance Engineer - Electrical Bias in Knowsley

About CCST

CCST is a UK manufacturer of carbon-ceramic brake discs, supplying performance and motorsport markets.

Our process runs through chemical vapour infiltration, or CVI, and it lives or dies on uptime.

When a machine stops, the plan stops.

That's why this role matters.

Role

We need a Maintenance Engineer with a strong electrical bias to keep our production lines running.

PLC and controls knowledge counts for more here than a specific trade ticket.

You'll fault find, you'll fix, and you'll help push asset availability in the right direction.

Key Responsibilities

• Electrical & controls: Diagnose and repair faults on PLC controlled equipment, drives, sensors and control panels across the CVI and machining lines.

Siemens S7 or Allen-Bradley experience is a real advantage here.

• Reactive maintenance: First response on breakdowns. Get the line back to plan fast, then log the fault properly so the root cause gets fixed, not just the symptom.
• Planned maintenance: Run scheduled PM to the plan. Flag anything that threatens OEE or asset availability before it turns into a stoppage.
• Mechanical support: This is an electrical bias role, not electrical only. You'll pitch in on mechanical fault finding when the job needs it.
• Continuous improvement: Contribute to root cause analysis and process improvement. Support management of change properly on any electrical or controls modification, no shortcuts.
• Compliance & safety: Work to current electrical safety standards, including safe isolation and lock out tag out. Keep maintenance records and documentation up to date.
• What you'll bring

Essential

• Recognised electrical or electronic engineering qualification (NVQ, HNC or equivalent), or a completed time served apprenticeship.
• Solid, provable fault finding experience on PLC controlled production machinery.
• Working knowledge of 18th Edition wiring regulations.
• Comfortable working to a live production plan, under a bit of pressure, without losing accuracy.

Desirable

• Siemens S7 or Allen-Bradley PLC programming experience.
• Background in manufacturing, ideally composites, automotive or aerospace.
• Multi-skilled maintenance experience with a mechanical bias.
• Experience maintaining robotics or automated production cells.

Beyond the ticket box, we're after someone who owns a fault until it's genuinely fixed, not patched.

You'll talk plainly with production and quality, and you won't need chasing twice.

Next steps

This is a hands-on role in a fast moving environment where breakdowns get fixed properly.

If that's the kind of problem you like solving, send your CV through to CCST recruitment and we'll take it from there.
