Their site houses a large press estate of high-speed progression presses, multi-slide machines, blanking presses and a range of other power press platforms, supported by wire forming and assembly operations.
The Role
This is a hands-on, self-directed Maintenance Engineer role at the heart of a busy production operation. You'll be the person who keeps the presses running — responding to breakdowns fast, executing a structured PPM programme, and maintaining the electrical, mechanical and pneumatic systems that underpin the business.

* Power press maintenance across a range of press platforms — including guarding, clutch/brake systems, die protection and statutory inspection support
* Planned Preventative Maintenance — working to a structured PPM schedule, updating the CMMS accurately and flagging defects before they become breakdowns
* Reactive breakdown response — attending machine-side promptly, communicating clearly with production on downtime, and getting to root cause as well as the fix
* Site-wide facilities and services — electrical infrastructure, compressed air, emergency systems, contractor management and maintenance stores
* Coordinating with Production, the Press Tool Room and Quality teams
What You'll Need
Essential
* Recognised electrical engineering qualification — City & Guilds 2360/2365, NVQ Level 3, HNC/HND or equivalent apprenticeship-served trade background
* Solid electrical maintenance experience in a manufacturing or heavy industrial environment, with the ability to fault-find on PLCs, drives and control systems unsupervised
* Strong mechanical and pneumatic maintenance competence alongside electrical skills
* Power press maintenance experience — working knowledge of guarding standards, clutch/brake systems and PUWER
* Experience working to a PPM programme, with accurate record-keeping
* Able to work unsupervised and communicate clearly with production teams under pressure
Desirable
* 18th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671)
* Hydraulic maintenance experience
* CMMS / work order management system experience
* IOSH Managing Safely or equivalent
* Appointed Person — Power Presses (or working towards)
What's On Offer

* Varied, technically demanding role across a broad range of equipment and plant
* Supportive team environment with genuine investment in your development
* Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
* Company pension, death in service benefit, access to GP support services, holidays and overtime available
