Nights Maintenance Engineer (Highly competitive salary + shift uplift!)

Location: Petersfield

We are recruiting for 2 Maintenance Engineers to join a prestigious, fast-moving manufacturer in Petersfield. You’ll be working 4 on 4 off, 7pm–7am, nights.

The role:

This position is roughly 70% mechanical and 30% electrical. Typical electrical work includes sensors, motors, drives, solenoid controllers, and basic PLCs. You’ll be responsible for keeping production lines running smoothly, minimising downtime, and driving efficiency.

The team is currently shifting from reactive repairs towards proactive, planned preventative maintenance (PPM). Weekday shifts are mainly breakdown response with some PPMs, while the 48 weekend hours on rota focus on PPMs, projects, and deeper fault investigations.

Each shift has 3–4 engineers, with four shifts covering the 24/7 operation. These vacancies are specifically for the 12-hour night shifts, created due to retirements and departures.

What we’re looking for:

Maintenance experience in a manufacturing/production setting

Strong mechanical skills with sound electrical knowledge

Some PLC troubleshooting exposure

Confident communicator within engineering teams

Keen to continuously improve and develop

Eligible to work in the UK

Next steps:

Interviews will be arranged quickly, including a site tour so you can see the facilities for yourself.
