My client is a manufacturing and engineering business based in Stockport.

The site runs specialist production equipment, including 30+ CNC machines.

This role has been created for succession planning. The plan is for this person to join as a Maintenance Engineer, learn the site, and progress into a Senior Maintenance Engineer role.

You will join a close-knit maintenance team with strong support from an experienced Senior Engineer.

You will work across planned maintenance, breakdowns, fault finding, projects and site improvements.

• Assist with machinery installation, commissioning and relocation
• Support reliability improvement projects
• Learn site equipment and maintenance processes from the current Senior Engineer
• Support apprentices and junior team members where needed

• Help with maintenance planning, contractor coordination and spare parts
• Take ownership of engineering issues and solve problems hands‑on

• Multi‑skilled maintenance engineering experience
• Strong electrical fault‑finding skills
• Experience in a manufacturing or engineering environment
• Fault‑finding experience across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and PLC‑controlled equipment
• Ability to read engineering drawings, schematics and technical documents
• Formal engineering training such as NVQ Level 3, HNC/HND, apprenticeship or equivalent
• CNC machinery experience would be a big advantage
• Experience mentoring or supporting other engineers would also help, but it is not essential

• Overtime opportunities
• Day shift
• Early finish every Friday
• Long‑term progression into Senior Maintenance Engineer
• Support from an experienced Senior Engineer
• Stable manufacturing environment
• Close‑knit engineering team
• Chance to work across CNC machinery and specialist production equipment

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a collaborative and supportive business as well as getting onto a platform where progression to a more senior role is being specifically targeted.
