Yolk Recruitment are proud to be working with an established, family-owned manufacturer that has been operating for over 100 years.

The business has an excellent reputation within its industry, but this isn't a company standing still. There has been significant investment into the site, production equipment and engineering team, with further growth and development planned.

As part of this continued investment, we're looking for a Multiskilled Maintenance Engineer to join the team.

You'll be working within a busy, highly automated manufacturing environment, providing both electrical and mechanical support across production machinery. This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll have real responsibility for keeping the plant running, responding to breakdowns and driving improvements in reliability.

As a Multiskilled Maintenance Engineer, this is what you'll be doing:

• Providing electrical and mechanical maintenance support across automated production equipment.
• Carrying out fault finding and repairs to minimise downtime and keep production running.
• Responding quickly and effectively to breakdowns.
• Completing planned preventative maintenance (PPM) across the site.
• Fault finding on PLC-controlled machinery, with exposure to Siemens and Allen Bradley systems.
• Maintaining motors, drives, sensors, conveyors and associated production equipment.
• Identifying recurring faults and looking at ways to improve machine reliability.
• Supporting engineering improvements, installations and ongoing investment projects.
• Working closely with production and other engineers to prioritise maintenance activity.
• Working independently when required as part of the shift engineering team.

The experience you'll bring to the team:

We're looking for an experienced Maintenance Engineer who can bring a good mix of electrical and mechanical knowledge.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous maintenance engineering experience within a manufacturing, production or transferable industrial environment.
• Strong electrical and mechanical fault-finding skills.
• Experience working on automated production machinery.
• PLC fault-finding experience, ideally Siemens, Allen Bradley or similar.
• Experience with both planned and reactive maintenance.
• A recognised electrical, mechanical or engineering qualification.
• The confidence to fault find, make decisions and work independently when required.

And this is what you'll get in return:

• £50,000 salary
• 4 on 4 off shift pattern - 2 days / 2 nights
• Overtime opportunities
• The stability of joining a manufacturer with over 100 years of history
• A business investing heavily into its site, machinery and engineering team
• A highly automated manufacturing environment
• Training and development opportunities
• Genuine opportunities for future progression as the engineering function continues to develop

Interested?

This is a great opportunity if you're looking for the stability of an established manufacturer but still want to join a business that's investing, improving and developing its engineering operation.
