Negotiable from £35,000

polkadotfrog is working with a well-established engineering company who are looking for a reliable, hands-on Multi-Skilled Engineer to join their team. If you enjoy practical work, variety in your day, and being part of a friendly, supportive workshop, this could be a great fit.

This is a varied role where you'll get involved in different areas of engineering, including:

• Fitting and assembly of parts, sub-assemblies and full machines
• Welding and fabrication (MIG and manual-arc)
• Machining (milling and turning) across a range of materials
• Some on-site work such as installations, commissioning and machine checks
• Inspecting bearings, parts, and supporting machinery testing

You don't need to be an expert in everything, but you should be confident in at least two of these areas and happy to get stuck in where needed.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has an engineering apprenticeship or relevant qualifications
• Has experience in a similar role (5+ years if qualified, 10+ years if not)
• Can read and understand technical drawings
• Has experience using hand tools
• Ideally has forklift / overhead crane certification (or willing to train)
• Takes pride in their work, pays attention to detail, and stays calm under pressure
• Is friendly, flexible, and happy working as part of a team

You'll be joining a company that takes pride in making solid, long-lasting machinery and looks after its people. The team is down-to-earth, experienced, and always willing to help each other out.
