Maintenance Technician

New Today

We’re expanding an engineering team for a global high‑tech manufacturer in South Wales, and we’re looking for multi‑skilled professionals who want long‑term growth in a clean, modern, and highly structured environment.

If you’re hands‑on, technically trained, and confident working across both mechanical and electrical systems, this is a strong next step. We welcome people from the forces, automotive, engineering, manufacturing, or any practical technical background; your transferable skills matter.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work in a cleanroom facility on PC‑based equipment (minimal PLC work), carrying out:

Strip‑downs and rebuilds

Calibrations and precision adjustments

Fault recovery and problem‑solving

Procedure‑driven, repeatable tasks to high-quality standards

This is a well‑organised, planned environment, ideal for someone who enjoys structure, consistency, and technical challenge without chaos.

What We’re Looking For

A formal engineering/technical qualification (C&G, NVQ, HNC, etc.)

Ideally, a completed apprenticeship (any discipline considered)

Strong mechanical and electrical capability

Experience with pneumatics or vacuum systems is a bonus

Open‑minded, adaptable candidates from any hands‑on technical field

Shift Pattern & Pay

4 and 3 day weeks rotating (one week you have 3 days off, the next 4 days off)

12‑hour shifts: permanent days (7am–7pm) or nights (7pm–7am)

Fixed pattern, no rotation

Shift allowance:

Days (Sun/Mon/Tue + alt Sat): +30%

Days (Wed/Thu/Fri + alt Sat): +20%

Nights (all patterns): +50%

Why Join?

Stable, well‑paid role in a cutting‑edge manufacturing environment

Clear development pathways as part of a major site expansion

Work with modern equipment in a clean, well‑run facility

Supportive team culture with long‑term progression built in

If you’re multi‑skilled, motivated, and ready for a high‑tech environment where you can grow, we’d love to speak with you.
