Leeds Wakefield Selby Pontefract Bradford

Are you an experienced Electrical Bias Maintenance Engineer with a strong background in fast‑paced manufacturing, looking for a stable, long‑term opportunity? Do you enjoy varied, hands‑on fault‑finding one day and planned maintenance the next?

My client is one of the UK's leading and longest‑established equipment manufacturers, working with customers across the country to deliver innovative, cost‑effective and reliable packaging solutions. Backed by an experienced team and award‑winning processes, they have built a reputation for quality and reliability that sets them apart in the sector.

This is a varied role covering the full spread of maintenance activity across the site's semi‑automatic packaging lines – from reactive breakdown response and fault‑finding through to planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and general site work. You'll be responding to issues raised by machine operators, prioritising rapid diagnosis and fix to minimise downtime, and using any quieter periods to get ahead on PPM.

Reporting into the Engineering Manager, you'll be trusted to manage and prioritise your own workload day‑to‑day.

• Diagnose and resolve electrical faults across a range of semi‑automatic packaging machinery, including sensors, drives and pneumatic systems.
• Work across a mixed fleet of PLCs on site, primarily Siemens and Mitsubishi – you do not need to be a specialist PLC programmer, but you should be comfortable navigating control systems, diagnosing faults and making minor edits or adjustments where needed.
• Carry out pneumatic systems maintenance and fault‑finding, including valves, actuators and air prep equipment.
• Work within an ATEX‑classified solvent area; awareness of ATEX regulations and safe working practices in hazardous atmosphere zones is an advantage, though not essential.
• Work as part of a small, close‑knit engineering team of three, rotating shifts of 6‑2, 2‑10.

• Time‑served, electrically biased maintenance engineer (roughly 70% electrical / 30% mechanical) with proven experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Confident working independently, comfortable reading engineering drawings and bringing a proactive, hands‑on approach to fault‑finding and continuous improvement.

This is a genuine opportunity to join a long‑standing, family‑run manufacturer with a strong reputation and a stable, long‑term outlook. You'll be joining a small, supportive engineering team, with real variety in your day‑to‑day work and the autonomy to manage your own priorities.
