Proven experience as an Electrical Maintenance Engineer in a manufacturing setting
Strong fault-finding skills across electrical and automated systems
Working knowledge of PLCs, including fault diagnosis and basic interaction
Ability to work with HMI interfaces and understand automated processes
Experience interpreting electrical drawings and technical documentation
A proactive mindset with strong problem-solving ability
Ideally exposure to continuous improvement or process optimisation
Flexibility to work shifts and support call-out requirements where neededWhy You Should Apply:

This is a chance to join a growing and forward-thinking manufacturer at a pivotal point in its journey. With significant investment in automation and ambitious plans for the site, you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact.

You'll be part of a collaborative engineering function where your skills will be valued, and where you will gain exposure to advanced machinery, automation systems and continuous improvement initiatives.

There is also clear potential for progression as the site develops and expands its engineering capability.
