About Woodlands
Woodlands Home & Garden Group has been manufacturing timber buildings since 1913. Today, we are a growing group with several manufacturing, distribution, and retail sites across the UK.
Our operations cover timber garden buildings, cabins, modular buildings, and window and door manufacturing.
As the business continues to grow, we want to bring more of our engineering and maintenance work in-house. We are looking for an experienced engineer who can help us look after our equipment properly, respond quickly when something goes wrong, and reduce our reliance on external contractors.
About The Role
This is a hands-on role covering both electrical and mechanical maintenance.
You will mainly be based at our Rodley manufacturing site, but you may occasionally be asked to support our other locations or provide holiday cover.
You will be responsible for responding to breakdowns, completing planned maintenance, and helping us improve the reliability of our equipment.

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.
