The opportunity
Are you a mechanically biased Maintenance Engineer looking for a role where you can get stuck into some serious engineering challenges - and have the opportunity to earn big money on overtime?
We're working with a well-established manufacturing business in Clevedon that is continuing to invest heavily in its site, machinery and engineering team.
They're looking for a strong Mechanical Maintenance Engineer with solid experience across mechanical systems and hydraulics.
This is a hands-on role working across a busy production environment, where you'll be responsible for keeping a wide range of machinery running reliably and getting stuck into genuine mechanical fault-finding.
And if you want to maximise your earnings, there's plenty of optional weekend overtime available.
The shift pattern
You'll work a 3-week rotating pattern of 12-hour shifts:
Week 1 - 3 x 12-hour day shifts
Week 2 - 3 x 12-hour night shifts
Week 3 - 2 x 12-hour day shifts + 2 x 12-hour night shifts
No scheduled weekend working.
If you want to earn more, optional weekend overtime is available and paid at time and a half, with double time after 8 hours.
What you'll be doing
Carrying out planned preventative and reactive maintenance across a wide range of production equipment. Diagnosing and repairing mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic faults. Working on pumps, gearboxes, bearings, conveyors, valves and mechanical drive systems. Responding to breakdowns and minimising production downtime. Supporting machinery upgrades, installations and commissioning projects. Identifying recurring faults and contributing to root-cause analysis and continuous improvement. Working alongside electrical engineers and production teams to resolve complex issues. Maintaining high standards of health and safety and accurate maintenance records.
What we're looking for
Level 3 Engineering qualification or equivalent. Previous maintenance experience within a manufacturing or industrial environment. Strong mechanical fault-finding skills. Good knowledge of hydraulics and pneumatics. Experience with pumps, gearboxes, bearings, conveyors and mechanical power transmission. A methodical approach to diagnosing and resolving faults. Electrical knowledge would be advantageous. PLC fault-finding experience would be beneficial but isn't essential.
