The business has recently doubled in size and has plans to nearly double again within the next 24 months, creating significant investment in the site and opportunities for future progression. About the Role This is a slightly different engineering position, offering a combination of day-based maintenance and shift engineering cover. Approximately 60% of your working pattern will be Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm, carrying out planned maintenance, preventative work, improvements and supporting the wider engineering requirements of the site. The remaining 40% will provide holiday, absence and additional cover for the existing shift engineering team, which operates a 4 on / 4 off pattern across 12-hour days and nights. You'll therefore need to be comfortable working both days and nights when providing shift cover, but this is not a permanent 4 on / 4 off position. You'll be responsible for a combination of planned, preventative, corrective and reactive maintenance, helping minimise downtime and ensure equipment continues to operate safely and efficiently. Key Responsibilities * Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) across production and site equipment * Provide engineering support during predominantly Monday-Friday daytime hours * Provide planned and unplanned holiday and absence cover for engineers working the 4 on / 4 off days and nights rota * Diagnose and rectify electrical and mechanical faults across production equipment * Respond effectively to breakdowns and minimise production downtime * Carry out root cause analysis and implement appropriate corrective actions * Record maintenance activity accurately through the site's CMMS system * Support continuous improvement, reliability and asset-care initiatives * Assist with engineering projects and equipment improvements across the site * Support procurement of critical components, spares and maintenance equipment * Liaise effectively with Production and other internal departments * Work with external contractors where required * Ensure all engineering activity complies with site Health & Safety standards * Identify recurring equipment issues and opportunities to improve reliability and efficiency
