Description:
Mechanical Maintenance Engineer
£40,000–£45,000 | Days Only, 8am–4pm | Monday–Friday
A fantastic opportunity for a mechanical maintenance engineer to join an established engineering team of 12, working days only with no shift work, no nights, and no weekends.
This role is ideal for someone with a strong mechanical background who enjoys hands-on, practical work. You'll be responsible for inspections, maintenance, and swap-outs across plant equipment, with a particular focus on pumps, pipework, and tanks. Full training is provided, so while previous experience working with hazardous chemicals or in a hazardous environment would be ideal, it is not essential — what matters most is solid mechanical aptitude and a willingness to learn.
The Role
Carrying out planned and reactive inspections on site plant and equipment.
Maintenance and swap-outs on pumps, pipework, and storage tanks.
Working closely with a wider engineering team of 12 to keep the site running smoothly
Training provided — no formal engineering qualification required, but at least 5 years experience required in a similar role
About You
A mechanical maintenance background — this could come from manufacturing, FM, utilities, food and drink, or similar industries
Experience with hazardous chemicals or hazardous environments is a bonus, not a requirement
Practical, reliable, and comfortable working independently as well as part of a team
What's on Offer
£40,000–£45,000 depending on experience
Days only — 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday — no shift pattern
Genuine permanent role within a stable, established engineering team
Opportunity to broaden your skills in a hazardous/chemical environment without needing prior specialist experience
This is a great move for anyone looking to step away from shift work without taking a step down in pay or progression
