Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer

New Yesterday

The Role

:

As a multi-skilled maintenance engineer, you'll be responsible for responding to a range of electrical and mechanical breakdowns and carrying out preventative maintenance to minimise downtime. You'll be working hands-on with a variety of equipment and supporting improvements across multiple manufacturing lines.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Electrical fault finding using a multimeter (including correct setting selection and avoiding fuse damage).

  • Basic diagnostics via HMI screens, checking I/O’s, and reading electrical schematics – no programming required.

  • Mechanical tasks such as inspecting for wear and tear, clearing conveyor jams, and replacing snapped belts.

  • Dealing with common breakdowns, often caused by water ingress during equipment washdowns.

  • Working from a paper-based PPM system (currently in place), with plans to transition to Shire Systems Pirana later this year – engineers will support this transition on a local server setup.

  • Collaborating with the wider engineering and production teams to improve reliability and safety.

    • About You:

  • You are a multi-skilled maintenance engineer with experience in FMCG or a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

  • You are electrically competent and confident using multimeters safely and correctly.

  • You can work mechanically to a reasonable standard, using logical fault-finding and visual inspections.

  • You're comfortable reading schematics and working with basic control systems (I/O, sensors, HMIs).

  • You take ownership, work safely, and can adapt to both planned and reactive maintenance.

    • Benefits:

  • £54,000 per year salary

  • 7% employer pension contribution

  • Private healthcare

  • Modern manufacturing facility with investment in new systems

  • Long-term development and training opportunities within a successful multisite group

    • This is a great role for a hands-on multi-skilled maintenance engineer who enjoys variety, responsibility, and working in a close-knit team. Whether you’re currently in a similar role or looking to take your next step in FMCG maintenance, we’d love to hear from you.
