We’re looking for a hands-on, mechanically biased Maintenance Engineer to join an established manufacturing operation in Skelmersdale and take over from a long-serving engineer due to retirement.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced engineer who enjoys fault finding, problem-solving and keeping production machinery running efficiently. You’ll be responsible for planned and reactive maintenance, breakdown repairs and machinery improvements across a range of industrial production equipment.
The Role
Carry out planned preventative maintenance and reactive repairs.
Diagnose mechanical and electrical faults, responding quickly to machinery breakdowns.
Minimise downtime by identifying faults and implementing effective, practical solutions.
Carry out machine modifications and improvements to enhance performance and reliability.
Maintain a variety of equipment, including conveyors and specialist production machinery.
Work alongside production teams to ensure machinery operates safely and efficiently.
Adapt to challenging situations and use your initiative to get equipment back up and running.
About You
Previous experience in a manufacturing maintenance role is essential.
Strong mechanical maintenance skills, with the ability to fault-find across mechanical and electrical systems.
Electrically biased or multi-skilled engineers will also be considered.
NVQ Level 3 in Engineering or an equivalent qualification would be advantageous.
Experience working in a fast-paced production environment.
Knowledge of milling machines and lathes would be beneficial.
Print industry experience would be an advantage, but is not essential.
A practical, resourceful approach to fault finding, repairs and problem-solving.
Full training will be provided on the site-specific machinery, making this an excellent opportunity for an engineer looking to develop their knowledge and skills.
Shift Pattern
Rotating weekly shifts: 06:00–14:00 and 14:00–22:00.
Monday to Friday.
Initially working day shifts before shadowing an experienced engineer and progressing onto the rotating shift pattern independently.
Salary & Benefits
£20.48 per hour basic rate.
55p per hour shift allowance.
Approximately £41,000 per annum, depending on hours and shift allowance.
Overtime paid at time and a half Monday to Saturday.
Double time paid on Sundays.
Permanent employment.
Full training on site-specific equipment.
Opportunity to develop your engineering skills within a specialist manufacturing environment.
If you’re a mechanically minded maintenance engineer who enjoys getting stuck into breakdowns, finding solutions and keeping production moving, we’d like to hear from you.
