Opportunity

An excellent opportunity to work for a successful packaging manufacturing business with facilities in over 7 countries across Europe. You'll get to work a range of equipment, as the site has over 10 different manufacturing lines, were looking for someone with a good level of electrical experience and basic level of mechanical understanding. Our client are well regarded within their sector, and have been in existence over 120 years, so are a good stable business in the local area with a family feel.

The Role

You'll be one of the reactive engineers on site, a range of different lines on site, working as the first point of call for maintenance. You'll work covering, maintenance, faults, and reactive repair work and will require you to run a tight PPM schedule as downtime on lines has serious knock on effects on the rest of the plant. You'll have some familiarity ideally dealing manufacturing machinery in a large plant and won't mind working on shift. There will be a mix between electrical and mechanical faults within the role, and you’ll also be supported by other engineers on shift also.

Ideally you'll be someone to bring in some fresh ideas, an engineer who can think outside the box and help develop their PPM schedule which the team have openly admitted, while they have been striving to improve it themselves, having a fresh pair of eyes will help generate some further improvements.

This role is a shift based role, and means you work for a total of 40hours per week plus overtime optionally on top of this, this is something that while not being guaranteed is frequently available and can be a valuable top up to your salary.

If you have good hands on experience, who can hit the ground running and who wants to come in and make a difference. You'll report into the Engineering Manager who will offer plenty of support and will be there as an escalation point if required. Technically you'll want to test yourself and learn new things, you'll be strong electrically and have some good mechanical understanding. Electrically you're looking at repairs, fault finding and maintenance both planned and reactive on sensors, e-stops, understanding and interpreting schematics, motors, basic PLC work (fault finding but this isn't essential, they use Siemens and Mitsubishi). Mechanically you’ll be looking at bearings, chains, pullys, rollers, conveyors, hydraulics and pneumatics.
