£53,500 + Weekly Pay + Paid Breaks + Excellent Benefits
The Opportunity
This is an opportunity to join a large, well-invested manufacturing business that continues to invest heavily in its engineering function, equipment, and people. The site is a technically interesting manufacturing operation with a strong engineering team and an excellent reputation for staff retention. Alongside supporting day-to-day production, the engineering department plays an active role in driving reliability improvements, continuous improvement projects, and group-wide engineering initiatives.
If you're the type of engineer who enjoys getting to the root cause of problems rather than simply replacing parts, this could be an excellent opportunity.
The Role
Working as part of a multi-skilled engineering team, you'll be responsible for planned preventative maintenance, reactive breakdown support, and continuous improvement across a varied manufacturing plant.
You'll be involved in maintaining and improving a broad range of equipment including:
- Process plant and production machinery
- Pumps, valves, and pipework
- Steam and heating systems
- Conveyors and automated equipment
- Three-phase motors and motor control systems
- Sensors, relays, contactors, and control panels
- Variable speed drives and electrical fault finding
- Bearings, gearboxes, chains, sprockets, and mechanical power transmission
- Hydraulic and pneumatic systems
- PLC-controlled equipment
