We are working with an award-winning manufacturer that is looking for an experienced Mechanical Maintenance Engineer to join its engineering team on a Monday to Friday, days-based shift pattern.

This is a varied, hands-on Mechanical Maintenance Engineer role, offering the opportunity to work on machinery refurbishment, planned maintenance, engineering projects and the manufacture of mechanical components.

For a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer who enjoys working on machinery rather than simply carrying out reactive maintenance, this role offers a good mix of maintenance, refurbishment, fitting and project work.

• Refurbish, overhaul and rebuild machinery and mechanical components.

• Diagnose mechanical faults and carry out repairs to minimise downtime.

• Use precision measuring equipment including micrometers, verniers and other inspection equipment.

• Strip, rebuild and align machinery and mechanical assemblies.

• Identify worn or damaged components and determine the appropriate repair or replacement.

• Read and work from engineering drawings and technical specifications.

• Maintain high standards of workmanship, safety and engineering quality.

The ideal Mechanical Maintenance Engineer will have strong practical mechanical engineering skills and experience working with industrial machinery within a manufacturing environment.

You should be comfortable with hands-on mechanical work, including dismantling, rebuilding, fitting and component manufacture, and be confident working accurately to fine tolerances.

Experience using micrometers, verniers and other precision measuring equipment is important, along with the ability to read engineering drawings and manufacture or modify components accurately.

• Mechanical maintenance experience within a manufacturing or industrial environment.

• Strong mechanical fitting and engineering skills.

• Experience refurbishing, overhauling and rebuilding machinery.

• Planned and preventative maintenance experience.

• A practical, hands-on approach to engineering.

For a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer looking for a Monday to Friday, days-based position, this is a strong opportunity to join an award-winning manufacturer in a varied engineering role.

Rather than being purely reactive, the Mechanical Maintenance Engineer will have the opportunity to work on machinery refurbishment, planned maintenance, component manufacture and engineering projects, giving the role plenty of variety and the chance to use a broad range of mechanical engineering skills.

• Monday to Friday, days.

• Award-winning manufacturer.

• Varied mechanical engineering role.
