We’re on the hunt for a Lead Maintenance Engineer to battle rogue PLCs, tame wild motors, and prevent mechanical meltdowns before they turn into full-blown soap operas.

Can you lead a team, handle paperwork without falling asleep, and stay calm when a machine starts making that noise? If so, grab your toolbox and your best problem-solving face—this job’s for you. What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Looking Like a Legend in Hi-Vis) Planned Preventative Maintenance – Because breakdowns have a terrible sense of timing. Electrical Troubleshooting – PLCs, motors, inverter drives… if it sparks or spins, it’s your domain. Leading the Team – Guide, plan, and keep things running (bonus points if you make it look effortless). Maintenance System Management – Yes, there’s paperwork, but we promise it won’t bite. Safety & Compliance – Because we prefer our engineers fully intact. Continuous Improvement – Finding better ways to do things, because you’re a genius like that. What We’re Looking For (No Wizards, Just Practical Magicians) Solid electrical & mechanical engineering experience – preferably the kind that doesn’t involve duct tape and prayers. A recognized electrical qualification – because we like our sparks inside the circuits, not flying across the room. Planned Preventative Maintenance expertise – thinking ahead so you’re not always playing firefighter. Knowledge of PLCs, motors, drives & electrical drawings – you don’t need to be a robot, just smarter than one. Comfortable working at heights – MEWP skills required (but no superhero landings, please). What’s in It for You? (Besides the Fame and Glory) Salary: Up to £48k (+ call-out pay, because heroes deserve extra). Annual Bonus – A little thank-you for keeping the place running. Perks Package – High street vouchers, cashback schemes & more (because you have a life outside work… right?). Career Progression & Training – We believe in levelling up, just like in video games.
