Reliability Engineer

Location: Bridgnorth - ( For Location & Directions)

Hours: 40 hours per week, Monday - Friday (08:30 - 17:00)

Salary: Up to £50,000, dependent on experience.

Are you a proactive engineer with a passion for improving asset performance? Join our Facilities team and help drive the reliability standards behind our world‑class engineering operations.

This new position focuses entirely on building a proactive maintenance strategy that strengthens our equipment performance and supports our journey toward smarter, more connected manufacturing. You’ll take responsibility for developing preventative and predictive approaches, shaping TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) activity and driving reliability improvements that help us refine how we work today, and innovate for tomorrow.

At Grainger & Worrall, we specialise in producing complex cast and precision‑machined solutions for pioneering technologies across diverse industries, including automotive, aerospace, defence, motor sport, and more, highlighting our versatility and commitment to driving future technology development and decarbonising mobility.

Our commitment to engineering excellence and breakthrough innovation was recently recognised with The King’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation — our fourth accolade in this prestigious programme. This honour reflects the significant impact of our work on the future of mobility and sustainable technology.

Driven by a team of talented and experienced engineers and specialists, we push boundaries and innovate to bring cutting‑edge ideas to life.

We work with manufacturers of high‑performance vehicles, helping them turn their ambitious designs and vision into reality. Through the expertise of our team and state‑of‑the‑art facilities which combines cutting‑edge engineering with advanced manufacturing processes, we deliver high‑performance components tailored to meet the demanding requirements of our clients’ innovative applications. We’re proud to shape the future of engineering.

As our Reliability Engineer, you’ll develop and deliver a robust, future‑focused approach to maintenance across the site. This office‑based role is centered on strategy, insight and continuous improvement rather than hands‑on repair. You’ll apply concepts such as FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis), condition‑based monitoring and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) to understand risk, prevent failures and strengthen equipment availability.

Working closely with the Head of Maintenance & Facilities, you’ll use data, engineering principles and structured problem solving to influence how assets are managed throughout their lifecycle. Your work will support greater operational stability, help reduce reactive activity and contribute to our ambition for more predictive, connected and efficient processes.

You’ll be a key decision‑maker in how we use performance data, failure history and system insights to build a modern, data‑led maintenance approach.
