Have you served your apprenticeship and gained experience in a manufacturing environment? Or are you a time-served Maintenance Engineer looking for a role where the work is varied and technical? If you enjoy fault finding, working with modern machinery, and being part of a skilled engineering team, this could be a great move.

Yolk Recruitment are supporting a well-established manufacturer that has invested heavily in their Plymouth facility. The site runs a range of modern CNC machinery and supporting equipment, with a strong focus on engineering standards, safety and continuous improvement.

You'll be joining a friendly team where engineers are respected for their experience, and you'll have the chance to build your skills across a range of equipment.

This is what you'll be doing

You'll play a key role in keeping production running safely and reliably across a modern manufacturing facility. The focus is on planned maintenance, electrical fault finding and supporting small upgrade projects.

Day-to-day, you will:

Carry out planned maintenance on a wide variety of equipment and site services

Diagnose electrical faults using schematics, multimeters and safe isolation procedures

Work inside control cabinets, identifying drives, relays, PLC I/O and key components

Support machine installations, moves and small improvement projects

Record work completed and help build simple maintenance routines

Help maintain environmental, quality and safety standards

The work is varied and offers good exposure to a range of equipment, with support from experienced engineers as you learn the site.

What they're looking for

Time-served electrical apprenticeship

City & Guilds Electrical/Electronic qualification (or similar)

Confident working on machinery electrics and factory services

Able to read electrical schematics and work safely within panels

Comfortable around CNC machinery or machine tool electrics

PLC knowledge at I/O level is an advantage

Basic mechanical confidence is helpful, but the team has a clear split - electrical focus is fine.

What you'll get in return:

Salary of up to circa £45,000

Paid standby allowance of £300 per week when on-call (around 1 in 8-9 weeks)

Monday-Friday pattern with no night shifts

25 days holiday + bank holidays

Subsidised canteen

Free on-site parking
