We are recruiting for an experienced Maintenance Engineer to join the evening shift of a growing manufacturing business.

This is a key, autonomous role within the engineering team, supporting the maintenance, repair and ongoing reliability of manufacturing machinery, production equipment and site facilities. The successful candidate will work closely with the Engineering Manager during initial training before moving fully into the evening shift pattern.

The role would suit a hands-on engineer with strong electrical and mechanical skills, ideally gained within a manufacturing, industrial or similar production environment.

Key Responsibilities

  * Use schematics, technical manuals and diagnostic tools to identify issues and resolve breakdowns efficiently.

  * Repair or replace faulty components, including basic welding and fabrication repairs where required.

  * Maintain accurate records of maintenance activity, repairs and completed work.

  * Support general building and facilities maintenance when required.

  * Ensure all work is completed in line with health, safety and quality standards.

  * Work independently during the evening shift, escalating issues where appropriate.

Ideal Candidate

  * Previous experience in a maintenance engineering role within a manufacturing or industrial environment.

  * Strong electrical fault-finding skills, including the ability to read and interpret electrical schematics.

  * Good mechanical knowledge, including experience with machinery repairs.

  * Welding or fabrication experience would be advantageous.

  * Experience within window, door, fenestration or similar manufacturing environments would be beneficial but is not essential.

  * Able to manage multiple tasks efficiently while maintaining strong attention to detail.

  * Good communication skills, both written and verbal.

  * Safety-conscious, reliable and comfortable working autonomously.

Benefits

  * 25 days’ holiday, excluding bank holidays

  * Christmas shutdown

  * Company pension, with auto-enrolment after 3 months’ service

  * Salary sacrifice pension scheme

  * Employee discount

  * Free on-site parking

  * Health and wellbeing programme

  * Training and development opportunities

  * Initial training provided on a day/mid shift alongside the Engineering Manager
