This position offers broad exposure to advanced automated systems, complex tooling, and critical facility infrastructure, making it ideal for an engineer with strong electrical and mechanical fundamentals who enjoys fault-finding, improvement work, and operational ownership.
Key Duties & Responsibilities
- Perform planned, preventative, and reactive maintenance on production equipment and site facilities.
* Support manufacturing operations by responding effectively to breakdowns and unplanned downtime.
* Apply structured problem-solving techniques (RCA, 5-Why, fault tree analysis) to resolve recurring issues.
* Execute preventative maintenance tasks in line with CMMS schedules and asset strategies.
* Maintain accurate maintenance records, ensuring full traceability of work completed.
* Use maintenance and downtime data to identify trends and recommend reliability improvements.
* Support spare parts control, stock optimisation, and supplier coordination.
* Collaborate with engineering, production, and facilities teams on improvement and upgrade projects.
* Ensure full compliance with Health & Safety procedures, including RAMS and safe systems of work.
* Participate in an on-call rota providing out-of-hours engineering support.
Technical Scope & Systems
- Automated pick-and-place and robotic handling systems
* CNC machines and precision manufacturing tools
* Vacuum, laser processing, plating, and semiconductor equipment
* Pneumatic, mechanical, and electrical systems
* Chemical and gas distribution systems (nitrogen, compressed air)
* DI water systems, LEV, HVAC, and building services infrastructure
Qualifications & Experience
- BTEC Level 3 or equivalent qualification in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering.
* Proven experience maintaining complex automated or manufacturing equipment.
* Strong fault-finding skills across electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic disciplines.
* Experience working with CMMS systems and preventative maintenance schedules.
* Demonstrated ability to work independently in a production-critical environment.
* Good IT literacy, including Microsoft Outlook, Excel, and Teams.
Desirable Experience
- Experience supporting robotic or vision-based automation systems.
* Exposure to SPC or data-driven process improvement tools.
* Knowledge of optical, laser, or wire bonding technologies.
* Experience maintaining HVAC and site services systems.
Skills & Behaviours
- Strong ownership mindset with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
* Excellent time management and task prioritisation skills.
* Adaptable and resilient in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
* Clear communicator with the ability to work effectively across departments.
* Committed to continuous improvement, safety, and engineering best practice.
