They are looking to add to their team by recruiting a new member to their maintenance team. They require a Maintenance Engineer who is a skilled, multi-disciplined engineer responsible for keeping production equipment and site services running safely and at full capability. The role is electrically biased, with strong mechanical and pneumatic competence across a varied manufacturing machines and associated equipment.This is a hands-on, self-directed role. You will respond to breakdowns fast, plan and execute the PPM programme diligently, and works across the site without the need for close supervision. The ability to think clearly under production pressure, coordinate effectively with colleagues across departments, and know when to escalate is as important as the technical skill itself. The role ranges from fault-finding a PLC fault, carrying out a planned electrical inspection, managing a contractor on site and updating the CMMS before the shift ends. The right person will thrive in this type of environment.Electrical Maintenance & Fault-Finding: -Carry out fault diagnosis and repair on electrical systems across the production and site estate from three-phase power distribution and motor drives through to machine control panels, PLCs, servo systems and safety circuits.Fault-find systematically and efficiently under production pressure; get the press running, then find the root cause not the other way around.Carry out electrical work in compliance with IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671); complete test and inspection records accurately and maintain electrical documentation for all plant.Programme, interrogate and modify PLC logic where required Siemens, Mitsubishi, Allen Bradley and similar platforms common in the press shop environment.Maintain and troubleshoot Variable Speed Drives (VSDs), servo amplifiers and motion control systems;

support the Maintenance Manager in prioritising and scheduling remedial work before it becomes a breakdown.Contribute to the development and improvement of the PPM programme proposing task additions, interval changes or method improvements based on direct experience of the equipment.Reactive Maintenance & Breakdown Response: -Respond to production breakdowns promptly and with urgency attend machine-side, assess the fault, communicate an estimated return-to-service time, and work systematically to restore production.Work effectively under pressure without losing rigour a fast repair that masks the root cause costs more than a slightly slower one that fixes it properly.Record all breakdown activity accurately: fault description, diagnosis, parts used, repair carried out, time to restore providing the Maintenance Manager with the data needed to identify trends and drive improvement.Identify recurring faults and escalate patterns to the Maintenance Manager with supporting data; contribute to root cause analysis and the development of permanent corrective actions.Carry out emergency isolation and safe isolation procedures accurately and safely before any intervention on live or energised equipment; never bypass a safe isolation for the sake of speed.Site-Wide Facilities & Services: -Maintain the site's electrical infrastructure distribution boards, sub-mains, lighting circuits, socket outlets and associated equipment ensuring the site is safe, compliant and operationally reliable.Support the maintenance of site services including compressed air generation and distribution, heating and ventilation systems, welfare facilities and general building fabric where within the maintenance function's remit.Manage contractor access for specialist works electrical testing and inspection, lifting equipment thorough examination, pressure vessel inspection, fire alarm servicing and similar ensuring contractors work safely and in compliance with site rules and permit-to-work procedures.Maintain and test the site's emergency systems fire alarm, emergency lighting, eyewash stations, fire suppression and ensure all test records are current and available for inspection.Support the management of the maintenance stores managing parts stock, raising purchase requests for consumables and spares, and ensuring critical spare holdings are maintained at agreed levels.Health, Safety & Compliance: -Work at all times in compliance with the health and safety policy, safe systems of work and relevant legislation including PUWER, LOLER, COSHH, Electricity at Work Regulations and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations.Apply safe isolation and lock-off/tag-out (LOTO) procedures without exception before working on any equipment;
