Permanent Night Shift
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established manufacturing business looking to strengthen its engineering team with the appointment of a Night Shift Maintenance Engineer. This is an excellent opportunity to join a busy production environment working a four-night week, taking ownership of maintenance activities while supporting production reliability and continuous improvement.
This role would suit a mechanically biased maintenance engineer who enjoys working independently and takes pride in keeping equipment running safely and efficiently.
The Role
Working permanent nights, you'll be responsible for maintaining production equipment, responding to breakdowns and ensuring planned maintenance is completed to minimise downtime. You'll also support ongoing improvement projects and help maintain a safe and organised engineering environment.
