Info About What The Maintenance Engineer Role Entails

Exciting electro‑mechanical Maintenance Engineer role on a small night shift team, supervising one Technician in a fast‑paced, high‑tech manufacturing facility. You will maintain a cutting‑edge 24 hour production line including pick & placement machines, SMT screen printers, ovens, conveyors, automated optical inspection machines, assembly lines, robotics, conveyors & laser marking machines amongst others.

The night shift can be a challenge as there are fewer people available to help, so you will be comfortable with root cause analysis & fault diagnosis/identification. Alongside reactive maintenance & planned maintenance activities, you will run small CI projects to improve downtime and machinery performance.
