Maintenance Engineer
Launceston
Circa £43,000 + Overtime + Benefits
Mon to Fri Days | 5:00am - 2:00pm | No Nights
Looking for a maintenance role without 12-hour shifts or nights?
We're recruiting a Maintenance Engineer for a large, established manufacturing site in the Launceston area, offering an attractive days-based shift pattern alongside plenty of hands-on engineering work.
Working 5:00am - 2:00pm, you'll finish early enough to have your afternoons and evenings back, with no night shifts. There is also a 1 in 4 week call-out rota where you will be paid overtime at enhanced rates for any callouts.
This is a busy production environment where engineering plays a critical role in keeping the site running. You'll get involved in breakdowns, fault-finding, planned maintenance, machinery repairs and improvement work across a varied range of production equipment.
The Role
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.
- Electrical and mechanical fault-finding across production and processing machinery
- Responding to breakdowns and getting equipment safely back into production
- Planned and preventative maintenance
- Fault-finding on motors, sensors, contactors, relays, drives and electrical control systems
- Mechanical repairs including bearings, belts, chains, sprockets, gearboxes, pumps and seals
- Fault-finding and repairs across pneumatic and hydraulic systems
- Supporting machinery modifications, installations and improvement projects
- Identifying recurring faults and helping improve equipment reliability
- Participating in a 1 in 4 call-out rota
What We're Looking For
We're open on industry background and would be interested in engineers from manufacturing, food/FMCG, packaging, automotive, aerospace, heavy industry, marine or Armed Forces backgrounds.
Ideally, you'll be apprentice-trained or hold a recognised Level 3 engineering qualification, with good hands-on maintenance and fault-finding experience.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You don't need to be a perfect 50/50 multi-skilled engineer. Electrically or mechanically biased engineers will be considered, providing you're comfortable carrying out maintenance across both disciplines.

- Circa £43,000 per annum
- Overtime opportunities
- Days-based 5:00am - 2:00pm hours
- No night shifts
- 1 in 4 call-out rota
- Early finishes giving you your afternoons and evenings back
- Permanent position with a large, established manufacturing business
- Varied machinery and genuine hands-on engineering work
