Full job description

Job Summary

We're looking for a Mechanical Maintenance Technician to join our Anaerobic Digestion operating team. You'll be the first line of defence for keeping plant equipment running — carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive repairs across mechanical (and ideally electrical) systems, while also working as part of the wider operating team on day-to-day plant duties. This is a hands-on, varied role for someone who likes fixing things and understanding how a live industrial process actually works, not just following a maintenance schedule in isolation.

What You'll Be Doing

Maintenance

Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) on pumps, motors, valves, pipework, and mechanical plant equipment
Diagnosing and repairing reactive/breakdown faults to minimise downtime
Basic electrical fault-finding and maintenance where competent (training available)
Maintaining accurate maintenance records and reporting recurring or developing issues
Sourcing parts, liaising with contractors/suppliers for specialist repairs, and helping schedule maintenance windows around plant operations

Operations

Working as part of the site operating team on daily plant checks and routines
Supporting waste intake, material handling, and general site operations as required
Helping troubleshoot process-related equipment issues alongside operators and the Plant Manager
General site housekeeping and adherence to safety protocols

What We're Looking For

Solid mechanical maintenance experience — pumps, pipework, mechanical drives, general plant equipment
Basic to intermediate electrical knowledge (desirable, not essential — training given)
Comfortable working on live industrial plant, ideally with some exposure to computer-controlled systems
Strong troubleshooting instincts and a proactive, methodical approach
Basic understanding of workplace Health & Safety requirements (DSEAR/ATEX awareness a plus, given the site environment)
Good communication skills — you'll need to hand over clearly between maintenance and operations
Able to work shifts/flexibly and assist with overtime when needed
Able to manage your own time and, after training, problem-solve independently

Nice to Have (Not Essential)

Previous experience in AD, water treatment, food/beverage processing, or similar process industries
Electrical qualifications (17th/18th Edition or equivalent)
Telehandler or forklift license

Pay: £35,000.00-£40,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
