Electrically Biased Maintenance Engineer
Heavy Industry | Rotating Days & Nights | Solid Team, Great Manager

This isn’t the kind of place where you’re fixing jammed coffee machines.
It’s heavy industry — where the equipment’s bigger, louder, and built to take a beating.

You’ll be the kind of engineer who’s more comfortable with your head in a panel than behind a laptop. Fault-finding’s second nature. So is staying calm when a motor trips mid-run and everyone’s looking at you like you’re the only thing standing between them and a full stop.

You’ll be on a rotating days and nights shift , but it’s well structured — and you’ve got a genuinely respected Engineering Manager leading the charge. Knows the plant, knows the people, and actually backs his team to do the job right.

• An electrical bias (Level 3 or equivalent)

• Heavy industry, manufacturing or similar background

• Experience with 3-phase, motors, inverters, and control systems

• A bit of mechanical know-how helps — but electrical is your thing

• A role where you’re trusted to get on with it

• A manager who’ll give you time, tools, and backing

• A site that’s investing in the right areas, not papering over the cracks

If you’re done with micro-management, and want to work somewhere where your skills actually count for something — let’s talk.
