Hands-on engineering role with real impact ...
We're working with a long-established, well-invested production site based near Okehampton who are looking to expand their maintenance team and add a skilled and proactive Maintenance Engineer to help deliver reliable plant performance and reduce downtime.
This is a days-based role in a fast-paced production environment, ideally suited to someone with an electrical bias — though mechanical engineers with evidence of any electrical fault-finding skills are also encouraged to apply, as well as those leaving the forces.
What you'll be doing:
As part of the core engineering team, you'll support both reactive and planned maintenance across a range of production machinery and utilities.
Key duties will include:
- Carrying out fault‑finding, repairs, and component replacement on a wide range of electrical and mechanical systems.
- Supporting the site's preventative maintenance schedule to minimise unplanned breakdowns.
- Working safely and efficiently within electrical panels, including isolations, motor controls, sensors, relays, and PLCs.
- Supporting continuous improvement activities and looking for ways to reduce downtime.
- Working closely with the Supervisor and Engineering Manager to prioritise work and keep production running smoothly.
What you'll need to succeed:
- A recognised qualification or apprenticeship in electrical or mechanical engineering.
- Solid experience in a maintenance role within a production or manufacturing setting.
- Comfortable with both reactive and preventative maintenance tasks.
- Electrical bias preferred but not essential.
- Familiarity with CMMS systems and maintenance reporting.
- A team player with a proactive and hands‑on approach to engineering challenges.
What's in it for you?
- Salary up to £42,000 based on a 40‑hour week.
- Overtime paid at 1.5x
- Days-based shift pattern (no nights).
- Great team culture with ongoing investment in training, tools, and equipment.
- Stable and well-established employer with clear progression routes.
