Job Description

Production Maintenance Engineer
 Location: Christchurch
 Reporting to: Production Manager

This is a hands-on role at the heart of a busy production environment, where you'll take ownership of keeping operations running smoothly and efficiently. You'll be responsible for maintaining equipment reliability, reducing downtime, and helping the wider team hit production targets safely and consistently.

You'll lead day-to-day maintenance activity across the site, working closely with production to ensure equipment performs at its best. A big part of the role is planning ahead-developing preventative and predictive maintenance routines that reduce disruption and improve overall performance.

Alongside this, you'll manage and support a small maintenance team, making sure work is carried out safely, effectively, and to a high standard. You'll also take the lead on responding to breakdowns, identifying root causes, and putting longer-term fixes in place.

There's a strong focus on continuous improvement, so you'll regularly review equipment performance, look for ways to increase efficiency, and support the introduction of new machinery when required. You'll also keep on top of maintenance records, budgets, spare parts, and external contractors.

What you'll bring as Production Maintenance Engineer

Experience in a similar maintenance role within a manufacturing or production setting
A solid understanding of both mechanical and electrical systems
A practical, problem-solving approach with the ability to make decisions under pressure
Familiarity with health, safety, and environmental standards
An interest in continuous improvement and efficient ways of working 

Additional qualifications as Production Maintenance Engineer that would be useful

HNC or HND in a relevant discipline
NEBOSH or IOSH certification
Any relevant technical training or certifications 

You'll suit this role if you enjoy being on the ground, solving problems as they arise, and working as part of a team to keep things moving. It's a role where you can make a real impact on day-to-day operations while helping to drive longer-term improvements.
