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.
The 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 What you'll be doing - 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.
