We're a fast growing manufacturer of premium packaging solutions to the retail, industrial and e-commerce sectors. You'll be our 'go to' electrically biased Maintenance Engineer / Mechanical Engineer, for our growing Exeter site (we have a sister site in Durham).
Although, the site has been operational for nearly 40 years, we regularly invest in new machinery and our plant is a mix of traditional and ultra-modern equipment.
You'll be working on a wide variety of equipment responsible for everything from:
· Mechanical and Electrical fault finding, including PLC troubleshooting.
· Creating PPM schedules.
· Providing reactive maintenance and new equipment installation.
It's your chance to roll you sleeves up and make the role your own, to put in place all the maintenance programmes, to improve housekeeping practices as we grow and to ensure all of our machinery is operating smoothly and efficiently.
We operate flexible working hours for this role. We'd like you on site between 07:15-16:00 Mon-Thurs, with a 12:15 finish on a Friday, but if you'd prefer to start earlier and finish earlier, it's not a problem, as long as everything is working when you go!
PERSON SPECIFICATION: Maintenance Engineer / Mechanical Engineer - Packaging Machinery
We're very open on sector background, but you MUST be either a time-served or qualified Maintenance Engineer, Service Engineer, Multi Skilled Engineer or Site Maintenance Engineer.
We'd be very interested in anyone with FMCG / Food & Drink sector experience, but previous packaging machinery experience is NOT essential.
Whatever your technical background, you'll be able to demonstrate:
· Root cause analysis and mechanical issue trouble shooting skills.
· The ability to read technical drawings, schematics and blueprints.
· The capacity to work independently, to trouble shoot and stay calm under pressure.
· To work with others, especially those with some or no technical understanding, in order to get a job completed
· A fundamental grasp of Health & Safety for your self and those around you.
Above all you'll bring a great attitude towards your work, enjoy the challenge of being in sole control of the maintenance and up keep of our equipment and support us as we grow.
THE COMPANY:
We have two UK sites and are expanding both. We're a leading manufacturer of premium cardboard packaging used by retail, industrial and online enterprises. We're entrepreneurial, growing and looking for the best people to support us on our journey.
