About the Role

This is a permanent hands-on Planned Maintenance Lead role within a well-established and industry leading manufacturing site.

You'll take ownership of how planned maintenance is delivered across the plant - making sure work is properly planned, carried out to a high standard and genuinely improving reliability. This isn't a role sat behind a desk. You'll be out on the shop floor, supporting the team, raising standards and leading by example.

Working closely with the Engineering Manager and shift engineers, you'll play a key role in moving the site towards a more proactive maintenance approach.

What You'll Be Doing

* Owning and developing the site PPM system (CMMS)
 * Planning and scheduling maintenance across production equipment
 * Ensuring PPM work is completed properly and consistently
 * Supporting engineers on breakdowns and technical issues when required
 * Driving root cause analysis and implementing long-term fixes
 * Improving asset reliability, uptime and overall maintenance standards
 * Working closely with production to minimise disruption
 * Supporting continuous improvement and maintenance best practice
 * Managing maintenance records, documentation and spares planning

What They're Looking For

* Multi-skilled maintenance engineer with a strong hands-on background
 * Electrical bias preferred, but not essential
 * Experience within manufacturing or production environments
 * Confident fault finding on 3-phase systems, control panels, drives, relays and associated equipment
 * Experience working with PLC-controlled machinery
 * Strong understanding of PPM systems and structured maintenance
 * Mechanical capability including bearings, gearboxes, conveyors, hydraulics and pneumatics
 * Proactive mindset with the ability to take ownership and lead from the front

Site & Equipment

* Automated manufacturing and production equipment
 * Conveyors, motors and drive systems
 * Electrical systems including control panels, inverters and relays
 * Pneumatic and hydraulic systems
 * PLC-controlled machinery and automated lines

Why Apply?

* Days-based role with no call-out
 * Opportunity to take ownership of maintenance standards on site
 * Growing business with continued investment in equipment and processes
 * Strong engineering team and supportive leadership
