Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer

Position: Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer (Permanent)
Maintenance Engineer – Double Days £50,5K

Location:

Lancashire (commutable from Burnley, Accrington, Blackburn, Barnoldswick, Clitheroe)
Salary: £50,500 + Overtime Available (excellent rates)
Shift Pattern:
Double Days (no nights, half shift Friday)

The Opportunity

My client is recruiting for a Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join their well-established and forward-thinking manufacturing business operating a double day shift pattern.

This is more than a reactive maintenance role. You’ll be a key part of a site that actively promotes Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Continuous Improvement (CI), giving you the opportunity to influence reliability strategy, drive improvements, and play a hands-on role in enhancing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). They are also offering full PLC training.

The Role

Reporting to the Maintenance Shift Leader, you will provide hands-on engineering support to production, ensuring equipment reliability, minimising downtime, and maintaining high engineering standards across site.

Your responsibilities will include:

Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive breakdown support
Diagnosing and resolving mechanical, electrical, and basic PLC/control faults
Supporting root cause analysis (RCA) to prevent repeat failures
Actively contributing to TPM activities including autonomous maintenance support and asset care development
Identifying and implementing Continuous Improvement initiatives to improve reliability, reduce waste, and enhance performance
Monitoring equipment performance data and supporting OEE improvement plans
Assisting with small projects, upgrades, and equipment modifications
Ensuring all work is completed safely, efficiently, and to high quality standards

This role offers genuine involvement in CI projects and structured improvement activities — not just firefighting breakdowns.

TPM & Continuous Improvement Involvement

You will have the opportunity to:

Participate in TPM pillars and improvement workshops
Contribute to root cause investigations and long-term reliability solutions
Support development of maintenance standards and best practices
Work closely with production teams to improve asset ownership and performance
Be involved in planned engineering projects and equipment upgrades
If you enjoy improving systems rather than just fixing faults, this environment will suit you.

Requirements

NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
Proven experience in a multi skilled maintenance engineering role within manufacturing or industrial environments
Strong fault-finding skills across mechanical and/or electrical systems
Basic PLC fault-finding capability (training available for development)
Experience contributing to CI, TPM, or reliability improvement initiatives (desirable but not essential)
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, production-focused environment
Strong commitment to health & safety and engineering best practice
What’s On Offer

£50,500 basic salary
Excellent overtime rates
Permanent, stable position with structured hours (no night shifts)
Early finish on Fridays
Ongoing training and development, including full PLC training
Supportive and skilled engineering team
Real involvement in TPM and Continuous Improvement projects
