Have you recently completed an apprenticeship or are you an experienced Maintenance Engineer looking for a varied, hands-on role or perhaps looking to upskill and cross train?
You'll be part of a small, supportive team working across all aspects of maintenance

This is the kind of role where no two days are the same. You'll have the chance to put your skills to use on planned and reactive work, small installations, and problem-solving to keep the operation running smoothly. If you enjoy variety, independence, and teamwork, this could be a good fit.

Handle general site facilities issues alongside production maintenance.
Participate in the two-shift system, covering days and lates on a rota.
Work both independently and as part of a small, collaborative team.
Travel as required to the Westbury and Salisbury sites (shared fairly within the team).
Qualifications and experience:
Multi-skilled maintenance background preferred with either electrical or mechanical bias (electrical preferred).
Relevant engineering qualifications; 17th or 18th Edition if electrically biased is desirable.
Confident fault-finding on control panels, with safe working practices around electrical systems.
Basic understanding of PLC systems (I/O diagnostics only).
Familiarity with hydraulics and pneumatics essential.
Welding or machining experience is a bonus but not essential.

Salary between £40,000 and £45,000 depending on experience.
