Senior Maintenance Engineer (Electrical Bias)
Salary up to £48,000 + shift supplements
Are you an electrically biased, multi-skilled engineer looking to step into a senior role within a highly automated, technically advanced environment? This is an opportunity to become a key member of an engineering team where your expertise, leadership, and problem-solving skills truly matter.
The Role
You'll be working in a modern, heavily automated site (approx. 80%), maintaining and improving a wide range of machinery and systems. The role offers a balanced mix of planned preventative maintenance and reactive fault-finding, with a strong move towards structured, CMMS-driven maintenance.
This is more than a hands-on role — you'll be trusted to step up, mentor others, and lead when managers are unavailable, making it ideal for an engineer ready to take on greater responsibility.
Key Responsibilities
-
Electrical isolation and fault-finding on automated equipment
-
PLC fault diagnosis (plug-and-play systems)
-
Mechanical maintenance including pneumatics, motors, chains, and conveyors
-
Maintenance of automation equipment such as:
-
Conveyors & motorised rollers
-
Automated pickers and shuttles
-
Packaging, bagging, strapping, and labelling machinery
-
Lifts, printers, and production lines
-
-
Completing maintenance reports, documentation, and spare-parts records
-
Working with contractors and supporting continuous improvement initiatives
-
Supporting and mentoring junior engineers and technicians
What We're Looking For
-
Multi-skilled engineer (electrical bias preferred, up to 60/40 mech acceptable)
-
Level 3 qualification (NVQ, Diploma, or equivalent)
-
Confident with PLC fault-finding (Siemens experience desirable)
-
Strong understanding of pneumatics, motors, and automated systems
-
Physically fit and comfortable working at height
-
A proactive engineer with leadership potential and a team-first mindset
Shift Pattern & Pay
-
Rotating early, back, and night shifts
-
1 in 3 Sundays
-
37.5 hours worked per week (paid allowances applied)
Earnings:
-
Base salary: £43,400+
-
Typical annual earnings with shift supplements: up to £48,000
Why Apply?
-
Work in a technically sophisticated engineering environment
-
Exposure to both legacy and cutting-edge automation
-
Clear opportunity to mentor, lead, and progress your career
-
Strong investment in training, systems, and internal development
-
A role where your experience and initiative are genuinely valued
