Multi-Skilled Maintenance Technician
Newcastle upon Tyne
3 Shift pattern
£48800 plus benefits
If you’re the kind of engineer who enjoys fixing problems properly (not just patching them up), this one’s worth a look.
We’re working with a global manufacturer that’s invested heavily in its Newcastle site, a recognised Centre of Excellence producing high-quality printed materials for major consumer brands. It’s a busy, fast-moving environment where engineering is genuinely valued, not just seen as a support function.
Why this role stands out
-
You’ll have real input into improvements, not just firefighting
-
A good mix of reactive, preventative, and project work
-
Opportunities to get involved in CAPEX and continuous improvement initiatives
-
A site that takes safety, quality, and engineering standards seriously
-
Chance to support and mentor apprentices, if that’s something you enjoy
What you’ll be doing
-
Keeping production lines running efficiently through planned and reactive maintenance
-
Diagnosing and resolving electrical and mechanical faults
-
Identifying and implementing process and line improvements
-
Supporting project work and equipment upgrades
-
Monitoring downtime and performance, helping drive improvements
-
Working closely with production and external suppliers
What we’re looking for
-
A multi-skilled engineer with both mechanical and electrical experience
-
Ideally 5+ years in a manufacturing environment
-
Someone who takes pride in doing things properly and improving how things run
-
Comfortable working in a fast-paced production setting
-
A team player who can also work independently when needed
This isn’t a role where you’ll just be ticking boxes or constantly chasing breakdowns. You’ll be trusted to take ownership, contribute ideas, and play a part in improving how the site operates.
If you like being hands-on but also want your voice heard when it comes to improvements, it’s a strong opportunity.
If it sounds like something you’d be open to exploring, feel free to get in touch for a confidential chat.
