We are recruiting for an experienced Maintenance Coordinator to take a key role within the Engineering & Maintenance function of a busy industrial operation located in Middlesbrough.
This is a newly created and influential position, reporting into Senior Management and taking responsibility for the effective planning, coordination, compliance, and financial control of maintenance activity across the site.
This is not an administrative maintenance role. We are looking for someone with a strong maintenance or engineering background who understands the practical and technical considerations involved in maintaining complex plant and equipment. You will bring structure, accountability, and good engineering practice to the maintenance function, ensuring work is effectively planned, appropriately resourced, compliant, and driven through to completion.
The Role
You will take ownership of daily, weekly, and longer-term maintenance planning, coordinating preventative, corrective, and reactive maintenance while balancing plant priorities, asset criticality, labor, materials, contractors, downtime, and operational requirements.
A key element of the position will be developing the site’s maintenance planning processes. The business is currently evolving its hybrid maintenance system, providing the successful individual with the opportunity to establish more robust processes for capturing, prioritizing, scheduling, tracking, and closing maintenance activities, while supporting future progression towards a more structured CMMS environment.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Alongside maintenance planning, you will have responsibility for key commercial and compliance aspects of the maintenance department. This will include maintaining visibility of maintenance expenditure and budgets, coordinating contractors and specialist service providers, managing critical spares requirements, and ensuring statutory inspections and maintenance obligations are effectively planned and recorded.
Working closely with Engineering, Operations, and Senior Management, you will monitor maintenance performance, planned versus completed work, downtime, and recurring reliability issues. You will use this information to improve asset reliability, maintenance efficiency, and overall plant performance, supporting root cause analysis and wider continuous improvement activity where required.
About You
This position would particularly suit someone who has developed their career within engineering or maintenance and is looking to use that technical knowledge in a broader maintenance coordination and management-focused position.
We Are Looking For
- A strong engineering or maintenance background gained within manufacturing, processing, heavy industry, or a similarly operational environment.
- Experience of maintenance planning, PPM, and corrective/reactive maintenance, with a sound understanding of plant reliability and maintenance priorities.
- Experience coordinating engineers, contractors, resources, and maintenance activities, ideally with exposure to CMMS or maintenance planning systems.
- A good understanding of maintenance compliance, health & safety, statutory requirements, budgets, cost control, and critical spares.

You will be confident operating with a high degree of autonomy and capable of making informed decisions when priorities change. Strong organization and communication skills are essential, as is the ability to work effectively with engineers and operational teams while providing Senior Management with clear visibility of maintenance performance, compliance, expenditure, and outstanding priorities.
The Opportunity
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced maintenance or engineering professional who wants to have a genuine influence on how a maintenance department operates.
Rather than simply inheriting an established system, you will have the opportunity to shape and develop the maintenance planning function, strengthening controls around planning, compliance, expenditure, and performance while helping create a robust maintenance framework that supports safe, reliable, and efficient plant operation.
