Maintenance Technician

Delta Personnel are working with an established and highly reputable brand manufacturer based in Sussex who are looking to recruit an experienced Maintenance Technician with a recognised apprenticeship or equivalent trade qualification (City & Guilds, NVQ Level 3 or above) in a Mechanical Engineering discipline and demonstrable experience maintaining CNC or automated production machinery.

You’ll be responsible for maintaining and optimising the performance of woodworking machinery, including CNC processing centres, edge banding machines, panel saws, and ancillary equipment, ensuring maximum uptime, safe operation, and compliance with planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedules.

Proven experience implementing and adhering to planned preventative maintenance programmes is essential as is a strong fault-finding ability across mechanical and electrical systems, including PLC-based controls as well as being safety-conscious with commitment to H&S legislation including PUWER, LOLER, COSHH, and LOTO procedures.

18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations or equivalent electrical competency and familiarity with HOMAG Group software environments would be advantageous coupled with experience with vacuum, pneumatic systems, drives, and inverters common to panel processing machinery and a basic working knowledge of PLC programming (Siemens S7, Beckhoff TwinCAT) for diagnostic purposes.

To be suitable for this role, you’ll need to be a hands-on, self-motivated individual who brings both mechanical and electrical expertise and someone who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
