Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer
Wolverhampton | Days | No Nights, Weekends or On-Call
A maintenance role where you can actually maintain equipment, rather than spend every shift firefighting.
We're recruiting for a modern, largely automated manufacturing site producing high-volume engineered components for automotive and wider industrial customers.
It's a relatively small operation within a much larger group, and we're looking for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to take responsibility for maintenance across the site.
You'll be the main maintenance engineer on site, working alongside an apprentice, so you'll need the confidence and breadth of knowledge to deal with whatever manufacturing throws at you.
The good news?
There's already a maintenance structure in place, with a genuine emphasis on planned and preventative maintenance rather than endless breakdowns.
And there's no night shift, weekend working or on-call rota.
The role
You'll look after a mixture of traditional manufacturing equipment and modern automated plant, including:
Mechanical and electrical maintenance
Planned and preventative maintenance
Fault finding and breakdown support
PLC-controlled machinery
Automated production equipment
Robotics
Motors, drives, sensors and associated electrical systems
Mechanical systems and traditional production equipment
Supporting equipment improvements and reliability projects
Working with and developing the site's maintenance apprentice
What we're looking for
You'll need to be a genuinely multi-skilled engineer, comfortable getting involved mechanically and electrically.
You'll ideally have:
Experience maintaining manufacturing or production equipment
Strong mechanical fault-finding skills
Good electrical maintenance and fault-finding ability
18th Edition
Experience with PLC-controlled equipment
Exposure to automation and/or robotics
Experience of planned preventative maintenance
The confidence to operate as the site's principal maintenance engineer
Automotive manufacturing experience would be useful, but isn't essential. What's more important is experience of maintaining high-volume production machinery and being equally comfortable with older mechanical equipment and modern automated systems.
This is a good opportunity for an experienced engineer who wants ownership of a site, varied equipment and sensible working hours without nights, weekends or being permanently attached to an on-call phone.
