Job Description

You know those people who panic when a machine makes a strange noise?

Yeah, we’re looking for the person they call when that happens.

If you are a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer — or a “Maintenance Fitter” if you prefer the old-school title — to keep the wheels turning, literally.

You’ll be part of a small, hands-on team that fixes, maintains, and generally keeps our factory running like it’s supposed to. There’s no hiding behind a laptop here — it’s spanners, grease, hydraulics, bearings, and the occasional “what on earth is that noise?”

This is one of those jobs where you’ll be equal parts fitter, welder, problem-solver, and magician. Planned maintenance one minute, emergency breakdowns the next. If you like a bit of variety — and the satisfaction of bringing dead machinery back to life — you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll actually do

Install, maintain, and repair mechanical equipment and machinery

Carry out PPM and fault-finding (hydraulics, pneumatics, drive chains — all the usual suspects)

Align bearings, replace parts, keep things safe, and make them work again

Occasionally weld, fabricate, or otherwise get creative when a fix doesn’t exist yet

Keep safety front and centre — because no job’s worth doing if it lands you in A&E

You’ll need

A Level 3 qualification in Mechanical or General Engineering

Experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment

Solid fault-finding and problem-solving chops

A calm head when things go wrong (they will)

A team mindset and decent communication skills

Bonus points if you’ve got welding/fabrication experience, know your way around hydraulics and pneumatics, or have tinkered with electrical control systems before.

The shifts

4 on, 4 off — two earlies (6:30am–6:30pm), two lates (11am–11pm), then four glorious days off.

You’ll also do one Saturday every eight weeks (10am–7pm).

What’s in it for you

£51,678 average annual salary

Weekly pay (yes, weekly)

Overtime available

Pension and life assurance

Share scheme — own a slice of the company if that’s your thing

Flexible benefits for health, wellbeing, and saving money

Proper training and career progression — because we actually invest in people

If you’re the kind of mechanically minded human who can smell when a bearing’s about to go, who doesn’t panic when things break, and who enjoys fixing stuff that other people can’t — this is probably the sort of place you’ll enjoy working.
