I'm recruiting a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer on behalf of a well-established extrusion manufacturer. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands‑on, electrically biased engineer to join a growing and technically advanced production environment, working on high‑output extrusion and converting machinery.

The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting continuous extrusion operations through both planned and reactive maintenance. This is a key role in ensuring maximum uptime across production lines, with a strong focus on electrical fault finding, mechanical reliability, and process efficiency. The role is electrically biased (60/40 split) and suits someone confident working in a fast‑paced, 24/7 production‑style environment.

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) across extrusion and converting machinery.
• Diagnose and repair electrical and mechanical faults to minimise downtime.
• Respond quickly and effectively to breakdowns across production lines.
• Fault‑find on motors, drives, inverters, sensors, and pneumatic systems.
• Maintain and repair vacuum conveying systems including vac pumps, hoppers, and load cells.
• Support maintenance of blown film extrusion lines and downstream equipment.
• Work on slitter rewinders, bagging machines, recycling systems, and film handling equipment.
• Carry out strip down, inspection, repair, and rebuild of mechanical and electrical components.
• Ensure all work is completed in line with strict health & safety and quality standards.
• Work closely with production teams to maintain consistent output and efficiency.
• Maintain accurate maintenance records and update CMMS systems.
• Support continuous improvement and reliability projects across site.

• Recognised engineering qualification.
• Strong electrically biased background (60/40 electrical to mechanical split).
• Experience with in extrusion, plastics manufacturing, manufacturing or similar continuous process environments preferred.
• Strong understanding of electrical systems.
• Good mechanical knowledge including pneumatics, gearboxes, and mechanical assemblies.
• Experience working on extrusion lines, vacuum conveying systems, and packaging machinery preferred.
• Strong fault‑finding, diagnostic, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of equipment performance.
• Strong awareness of health & safety and quality standards in a manufacturing environment.
• Proactive, hands‑on, and reliable approach to maintenance.

• Monday to Friday: 08:00 - 17:00.
• Salary: £43,000 - £44,000.
• 1 week on call every 3 weeks paid at x1.5.
• 25 days annual leave + Bank Holidays.
• In‑service life assurance.
• Company pension.
• Long‑term stability.
