Are you an experienced Electrical Bias Maintenance Engineer with a strong background in fast-paced manufacturing, looking for a stable, long-term opportunity? Do you enjoy varied, hands-on fault-finding one day and planned maintenance the next?
This role covers maintenance across the site's semi-automatic packaging lines, including reactive breakdown response, fault-finding, planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and general site work. You will respond to issues raised by machine operators, prioritise rapid diagnosis and fix to minimise downtime, and use quieter periods to progress PPM. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you will manage and prioritise your own workload day-to-day.
Your day-to-day work will involve diagnosing and resolving electrical faults across a range of semi-automatic packaging machinery, including sensors, drives and pneumatic systems. You will work across a mixed fleet of PLCs on site, primarily Siemens and Mitsubishi — you don’t need to be a specialist PLC programmer, but you should be comfortable navigating control systems, diagnosing faults and making minor edits or adjustments where needed. You will also carry out pneumatic systems maintenance and fault-finding, including valves, actuators and air prep equipment, and will be working within an ATEX-classified solvent area, so an awareness of ATEX regulations and safe working practices in hazardous atmosphere zones would be an advantage, though not essential. You will form part of a small, close-knit engineering team of three, working rotating shifts of 6-2, 2-10.
To be successful in this role, you'll need to be a time-served, electrically biased maintenance engineer (roughly 70% electrical / 30% mechanical) with proven experience in a manufacturing environment. You should be confident working independently, be comfortable reading engineering drawings, and bring a proactive, hands-on approach to fault-finding and continuous improvement.
This is a genuine opportunity to join a long-standing, family-run manufacturer with a strong reputation and a stable, long-term outlook. You'll be joining a small, supportive engineering team, with real variety in your day-to-day work and the autonomy to manage your own priorities.
