The Opportunity
Are you an experienced Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer with a strong mechanical bias looking for a new opportunity within a manufacturing environment?
We are working with an established manufacturing business that is looking to appoint a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join its engineering team following the departure of an existing team member.

Respond to breakdowns and minimise production downtime.
Fault-find and repair mechanical and electrical issues.
Maintain and repair a range of heavy industrial processing equipment.

A proactive approach to identifying and resolving engineering issues.
