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.

• Heavy industry, manufacturing or similar background

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

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

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