Mechanical & Electrical Maintenance Engineer
An established UK manufacturer is seeking a multi-skilled Mechanical & Electrical Maintenance Engineer to join its engineering team. This position plays a key role in ensuring production equipment operates safely, efficiently and reliably through planned preventative maintenance, fault finding and continuous improvement activities.
Working within a fast-paced manufacturing environment, you will provide both reactive and proactive maintenance support across production, packaging and site services equipment while contributing to engineering projects and process improvements.
Key Responsibilities:
- Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) on manufacturing and packaging equipment. Respond quickly to equipment breakdowns, diagnosing and repairing both electrical and mechanical faults.
- Perform root cause analysis and implement permanent corrective actions to improve equipment reliability.
- Maintain motors, gearboxes, pumps, conveyors, mixers, agitators, compressors, pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
- Replace and install electrical components including motors, sensors, contactors, drives and control panels.
- Support production by minimising downtime and maximising plant availability.
- Participate in continuous improvement initiatives focused on reliability, efficiency and preventative maintenance.
- Assist with machinery installations, upgrades and commissioning of new equipment.
Skills & Experience:
- Apprentice trained or qualified in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Multi-Skilled Engineering.
- Experience working within a manufacturing, process or industrial production environment.
- Strong electrical fault-finding skills on industrial equipment.
- Mechanical maintenance experience with rotating equipment, pumps, conveyors, gearboxes and bearings.
- Experience working with PLC-controlled machinery (fault diagnosis rather than programming) a big plus.
- Knowledge of pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
- Familiarity with variable speed drives (VSDs), motors and industrial control systems a big plus.
- Experience using preventative maintenance systems (CMMS).
- Ability to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings.
