About the Role

We are recruiting for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join a small but growing maintenance team at a well-established components manufacturing business. The company produces high-quality components primarily for the defence and advanced engineering sectors, and this role plays a vital part in keeping production running smoothly.

This is a five-day, days-based role, making it ideal for an engineer currently working shifts who is looking for a better work-life balance.

  • Maintain accurate maintenance records and documentation
  • Assist with the installation and commissioning of new equipment
  • Work closely with production teams to support overall factory performance
  • Ensure all work is carried out in line with health and safety regulations and company procedures

What We're Looking For

  • A time-served engineer or hold a relevant engineering qualification (e.g. NVQ Level 3, HNC, or equivalent)
  • Proven experience in a multi-skilled maintenance role, ideally within a manufacturing environment
  • Strong mechanical and electrical fault-finding skills
  • Experience working with CNC machinery, presses, or other production equipment is desirable
  • A proactive attitude with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team
  • A full understanding of safe systems of work, including isolation procedures (LOTO)

What's On Offer

  • A stable, days-based role, no nights, no weekends, no shift pattern
  • The opportunity to join a small, supportive and growing maintenance team
  • Exposure to advanced manufacturing within the defence and engineering sectors
  • Ongoing training and development opportunities
  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • A secure, long-term career with a well-established business
