Job Description

Mechanical & Electrical Maintenance Engineer

About the Role

An established UK manufacturer is seeking a multi-skilled Mechanical & Electrical Maintenance Engineer to join its engineering team. This position plays a key role in ensuring production equipment operates safely, efficiently and reliably through planned preventative maintenance, fault finding and continuous improvement activities.

Working within a fast-paced manufacturing environment, you will provide both reactive and proactive maintenance support across production, packaging and site services equipment while contributing to engineering projects and process improvements.

Key Responsibilities

  * 

    Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) on manufacturing and packaging equipment.

  * 

    Respond quickly to equipment breakdowns, diagnosing and repairing both electrical and mechanical faults.

  * 

    Perform root cause analysis and implement permanent corrective actions to improve equipment reliability.

  * 

    Maintain motors, gearboxes, pumps, conveyors, mixers, agitators, compressors, pneumatic and hydraulic systems.

  * 

    Replace and install electrical components including motors, sensors, contactors, drives and control panels.

  * 

    Support production by minimising downtime and maximising plant availability.

  * 

    Participate in continuous improvement initiatives focused on reliability, efficiency and preventative maintenance.

  * 

    Assist with machinery installations, upgrades and commissioning of new equipment.

Skills & Experience

  * 

    Apprentice trained or qualified in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Multi-Skilled Engineering.

  * 

    Experience working within a manufacturing, process or industrial production environment.

  * 

    Strong electrical fault-finding skills on industrial equipment.

  * 

    Mechanical maintenance experience with rotating equipment, pumps, conveyors, gearboxes and bearings.

  * 

    Experience working with PLC-controlled machinery (fault diagnosis rather than programming) a big plus.

  * 

    Knowledge of pneumatic and hydraulic systems.

  * 

    Familiarity with variable speed drives (VSDs), motors and industrial control systems a big plus.

  * 

    Experience using preventative maintenance systems (CMMS).

  * 

    Ability to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
