Description:
Mechanical & Electrical Maintenance Engineer
About the Role
An established UK manufacturer is seeking a multi-skilled Mechanical & Electrical Maintenance Engineer to join its engineering team. This position plays a key role in ensuring production equipment operates safely, efficiently and reliably through planned preventative maintenance, fault finding and continuous improvement activities.
Working within a fast-paced manufacturing environment, you will provide both reactive and proactive maintenance support across production, packaging and site services equipment while contributing to engineering projects and process improvements.
Key Responsibilities
*
Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) on manufacturing and packaging equipment.
*
Respond quickly to equipment breakdowns, diagnosing and repairing both electrical and mechanical faults.
*
Perform root cause analysis and implement permanent corrective actions to improve equipment reliability.
*
Maintain motors, gearboxes, pumps, conveyors, mixers, agitators, compressors, pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
*
Replace and install electrical components including motors, sensors, contactors, drives and control panels.
*
Support production by minimising downtime and maximising plant availability.
*
Participate in continuous improvement initiatives focused on reliability, efficiency and preventative maintenance.
*
Assist with machinery installations, upgrades and commissioning of new equipment.
Skills & Experience
*
Apprentice trained or qualified in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Multi-Skilled Engineering.
*
Experience working within a manufacturing, process or industrial production environment.
*
Strong electrical fault-finding skills on industrial equipment.
*
Mechanical maintenance experience with rotating equipment, pumps, conveyors, gearboxes and bearings.
*
Experience working with PLC-controlled machinery (fault diagnosis rather than programming) a big plus.
*
Knowledge of pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
*
Familiarity with variable speed drives (VSDs), motors and industrial control systems a big plus.
*
Experience using preventative maintenance systems (CMMS).
*
Ability to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
