£50,000-£54,000 + Overtime + 4 on 4 off Days Only + Training + Long-Term Stability

A fantastic opportunity for a genuinely hands‑on Mechanical Maintenance Engineer looking for a varied role working on heavy industrial machinery. This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys getting stuck into breakdowns, replacing components, fault finding and carrying out practical repairs rather than spending their days purely completing PPMs. With a 4 on 4 off days‑only shift, strong basic salary and plenty of overtime available for those who want it, this is a great opportunity to join a site where your mechanical knowledge will genuinely be valued.

Overtime is readily available, particularly around planned downtime and weekend maintenance.
