Hands-On Maintenance Engineer: Mechanical & Electrical

Maintenance Engineer - Mechanical, Electrical or Multi-Skilled

Inverness-shire, Highland | Permanent | Full-Time

NT Engineering & Manufacturing are delighted to be working with our Process Manufacturing client in the Inverness area. This is a large industrial process site that runs hard, produces at pace and takes real pride in what it makes. They are looking for a hands‑on Maintenance Engineer to join the team and help keep the operation running at its best.

This is a proper engineering role - planned and reactive maintenance across a busy heavy industrial site, working closely with production, and playing a real part in driving continuous improvement. If you're someone who takes ownership, thinks logically under pressure and wants to develop your career in a site that genuinely values its engineers, this is worth a look.

• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance across all plant and equipment on site
• Responding to breakdowns and fault‑finding quickly and effectively to minimise downtime
• Working closely with production teams to match equipment availability with demand
• Identifying and implementing continuous improvement activities across the site
• Keeping accurate maintenance records via the Emaint CMMS system
• Supporting and mentoring junior maintenance staff
• Ensuring all work is carried out safely and in line with H&S regulations

• Apprentice-trained or equivalent — City & Guilds, HNC or similar in mechanical, electrical or multi‑skilled engineering
• 3+ years post‑apprenticeship experience in a heavy industrial or manufacturing environment
• Process, FMCG, food manufacturing or similar is very welcome
• Strong fault‑finding and diagnostic skills
• Working knowledge of hydraulics and pneumatics
• Electrical bias preferred but strong mechanical engineers will absolutely be considered
• Self‑starter who can work on their own initiative and as part of a team
• A practical, can‑do attitude and genuine pride in doing the job properly

This role is being supported by Caroline Strachan at NT Engineering & Manufacturing.
