The Opportunity
We are seeking a proactive and hands on Maintenance Engineer to join a busy and growing manufacturing site. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys problem solving, thrives in a fast paced environment, and takes pride in keeping operations running smoothly.

• Keeping accurate maintenance records and documentation
• Providing flexible support across shifts and occasionally across multiple sites

• Strong fault  finding skills and the ability to read electrical drawings
• Knowledge of motors, drives, and control systems
• A proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
• Good IT skills and ability to maintain records
• Flexible, team oriented approach with the ability to work independently
• Full UK driving licence and own transport due to location (15 minutes outside of Swindon)

Desirable:

• Electrical qualification beneficial (NVQ Level 3 / City & Guilds, 17th or 18th Edition)
• Mechanical qualifications or strong mechanical experience
• Welding, fabrication, or machining skills
• Experience with hydraulics, pneumatics, bearings, and gearboxes
• PLC fault-finding experience
• Knowledge of BS7671 testing and inspection

What’s In It For You?
You’ll be joining a business that truly invests in its people, offering not just a job, but a long term career in a supportive and collaborative environment.

• Competitive salary with achievable annual bonus
• 23 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Contributory pension scheme
• Free on-site parking
• Employee assistance programme to support your wellbeing
• Long service recognition and rewards
