Based at our Waste Treatment Plant at Knowsley, our new Maintenance Engineer will ensure our facility is up and running at all times. You’ll contribute to the forward planning of engineering works, providing first-line planned maintenance and troubleshoot repairs for plant machinery at our sites in the area. We are looking for a very organised individual who takes pride in the work they do and is available for on call duties.
Shift Pattern: Monday to Friday
* Some on call duties are required, therefore, flexibility is essential. (Addition allowance will be paid for call out)
*Salary is around £40,000 (DOE)
Specifically, this will involve:
- Being fully conversant with all maintenance/engineering aspects of the plant
- control of spare part storage and ordering
- Working closely with shift supervisors and managers to co-ordinate the inspection of plant/equipment and carrying out repairs/testing as required which does not conflict with plant operations/scheduled work
- Working in conjunction with engineering colleagues and other departments to co-ordinate and maintain site documentation, as well as review and contribute to the development of the maintenance programme
As our Maintenance Engineer, you will:
- Have experience in all aspects of mechanical equipment and processes, including welding, pneumatics and hydraulics, plus relevant formal engineering qualifications
- Be able to work to tight deadlines and prioritise work according to plant requirements
- Have the ability to diagnose problems and deliver on-time solutions
- Be willing to deputise for the Shift Supervisor when required, therefore supervisory skills would be preferred
- Have good Communication and Organisation Skills
Any industrial plant experience and electrical qualifications would be a distinct advantage.
In return, we can promise you a first-class opportunity in a quality driven business, where the rewards will fully reflect your endeavour, in the form of a competitive salary, 5 weeks holidays and an excellent range of benefits.
