- Coach and develop engineers within the team
- Maintain accurate maintenance records through the CMMS system
- Ensure all engineering work is completed safely and to a high standard
- Deliver effective shift handovers and communicate engineering issues clearly
What We're Looking For
You'll ideally be an experienced Engineering Supervisor, Engineering Team Leader, Maintenance Team Leader or Lead Engineer from a fast-paced industrial environment.
- HNC in Mechanical or Plant Engineering
- Previous experience leading or supervising an engineering/maintenance team
- Strong mechanical fault finding and problem-solving skills
- Experience with hydraulics and pneumatics
- Welding experience
- Experience delivering planned and reactive maintenance
- The ability to remain hands-on while leading a team
- Confidence prioritising engineering activity in a busy operational environment
- Experience within waste, recycling, manufacturing, processing, aggregates, quarrying or another heavy industrial environment would be particularly relevant.
The Package
- Upto £60,000
- London Weighting Allowance
- 4 on, 4 off shift pattern
- Ongoing training and career development
- Generous pension scheme
- Life cover
- Retail and leisure discounts
- Holiday and travel discounts
If you're an experienced engineering professional who enjoys leading a team but still wants to remain technically hands-on, we'd love to hear from you.
