About the Role

As a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer, you’ll play a vital role in keeping our clients CNC and specialist production machinery operating at peak performance across their Leicester sites.

You’ll be part of a supportive maintenance team, working on a wide variety of equipment and taking ownership of both planned and reactive maintenance tasks. No two days are the same — one moment you’ll be fault-finding a gearbox issue, the next you could be refurbishing a production line component or diagnosing a PLC fault.

What You’ll Be Doing

* Delivering mechanical maintenance and repair on a wide range of CNC and specialist machinery.

* Working on gearboxes, bearings, shafts, drive chains, pumps and tanks.

* Managing reactive breakdowns and minimising downtime.

* Leading or supporting major refurbishment projects on machinery and plant.

* Using your experience with PLC fault finding and interrogation (Fanuc & Siemens).

* Carrying out planned preventative maintenance to keep equipment in top condition.

* Ensuring all work complies with health, safety and legal requirements.

What We’re Looking For

* HNC (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering.

* Minimum 3 years’ experience in a maintenance engineering environment.

* Hands-on experience fault-finding and repairing CNC multi-axis machines.

* Confident with Fanuc and Siemens controls.

* Strong mechanical problem-solving skills and a proactive, safety-conscious attitude.

* Someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in quality, and wants to make a real difference on the shop floor.

What’s in It for You

* Days-only role – no night shifts.

* Opportunities for training and career development.

* A supportive, friendly team culture within a long-established local manufacturer.
