Job Description

CNC / Maintenance Service Engineer

Location: Greater Manchester

Salary: £44,000+

THE ROLE

We are recruiting on behalf of a highly advanced precision engineering business looking to appoint an experienced CNC / Maintenance Service Engineer to join their in-house engineering team.

This opportunity has arisen due to a long-serving Maintenance Engineer approaching retirement. The business is looking to recruit ahead of time to allow a structured handover and knowledge transfer period, giving the successful candidate the opportunity to work closely alongside an experienced engineer and gain valuable machine-specific knowledge.

The site operates highly technical 5-axis CNC machinery, requiring a strong mechanically biased engineer with excellent fault-finding and diagnostic capability across mechanical, electrical and PLC-controlled systems.

This is a technically challenging role suited to an engineer who genuinely enjoys solving complex engineering problems rather than simply replacing components.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Carry out planned preventative maintenance across advanced 5-axis CNC machinery

- Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical and control system faults

- Support machine reliability, uptime and continuous improvement activities

- Fault find across PLC systems, electrical controls, drives, motors and machine electronics

- Carry out machine inspections, servicing and corrective maintenance

- Work closely with production and engineering teams to minimise downtime

- Support machine installations, upgrades and modification projects where required

- Maintain maintenance records and support engineering documentation activities

- Work alongside the existing senior engineer during the handover period to gain machine and process knowledge

REQUIREMENTS

- Strong mechanically biased maintenance engineer

- Experience working on CNC machinery, ideally multi-axis or 5-axis equipment

- Good understanding of:

Electrical systems
Machine electronics
PLC diagnostics and fault finding
- Previous CNC field service or CNC service engineer experience preferred

- Calm, methodical and practical approach to problem solving

- Strong fault-finding mindset with the ability to diagnose root causes effectively

- Engineer who enjoys technically challenging machinery and complex problem solving

IDEAL BACKGROUND

This role would particularly suit an experienced CNC Service Engineer who has spent years travelling and is now looking for:

- A stable, long-term in-house engineering position

- Less time away from home

- Better work/life balance

- The opportunity to apply broad technical knowledge within one advanced manufacturing facility

WHAT'S ON OFFER

- Exceptional salary for the right engineer

- Long-term stable opportunity within a highly advanced manufacturing environment

- Extensive handover and mentoring from a highly experienced senior engineer

- Technically interesting and varied engineering challenges

- Opportunity to become a key long-term member of the engineering team

- Modern precision engineering environment with advanced CNC technology

WHY APPLY?

This is an outstanding opportunity for a high-calibre maintenance engineer who still enjoys genuine engineering fault finding and wants to work within a technically advanced environment without the demands of constant travel.

You'll be joining a business that values engineering expertise and is committed to ensuring a proper transition and long-term investment in the right individual.
