Mechanical Maintenance Engineer

A Mechanical Maintenance Engineer is required for a well-established manufacturer based in Leicestershire working on a permanent night shift. The working hours are 9.30 pm until 05.30 am, working Monday to Friday, offering an annual salary of up to £50,000 plus some exceptional employee benefits, including enhanced holiday entitlement, a contributory pension scheme, and paid overtime. You will be involved in both planned and preventative maintenance duties working within a fast-moving production environment, ensuring that all equipment and services are maintained to the highest Health and Safety and operating standards. The need to reduce engineering downtime is crucial; therefore, the need to respond rapidly to machine breakdowns and failures is critical, working within the wider engineering team to deliver, develop, and improve maintenance schedules. As a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer, you may have an NVQ Level 3 in Mechanical Engineering or as a time-served/apprentice engineer, you will be able to evidence at least 3-5 years of previous, relevant mechanical maintenance engineering experience. Reporting to the site engineering manager, you will need to undertake projects and assist with all on-site installations and machinery/equipment assessment. You will have previous knowledge of hydraulic/pneumatic and general electrical control systems experience. As Mechanical Maintenance Engineer, there is an expectation to help train production operators in the operation of site machinery and equipment, endorsing high standards of work output, identifying any areas for immediate remedial action, and ensuring that all machinery and equipment performance is maintained at optimum levels. Naturally, there is a need to comply with all Health and Safety operating procedures, identifying and managing risk, reporting on any accident, assessing near misses and any property damage caused at any time. This is a very challenging and rewarding mechanical engineering vacancy that offers career stability. This employer does not offer employment sponsorship.
