You'll ideally have:

• Electrical and mechanical fault-finding experience
• Experience maintaining automated production or packing machinery
• The ability to work independently and make confident decisions
• A proactive approach to breakdowns, PPMs and equipment reliability
• A recognised engineering qualification, apprenticeship or equivalent practical experience
• The flexibility to work permanent nights

What's on offer?

This Maintenance Engineer position comes with:

• £45,000–£60,000 depending on experience and agreed shift pattern
• Paid overtime
• 31 days' holiday including bank holidays
• Salary sacrifice pension scheme
• Health Cash Plan
• Life assurance and income protection
• Training, development and mentoring opportunities
• Retail, supermarket and holiday discounts
• Electric car and Cycle to Work salary sacrifice schemes
