Mechanical Maintenance Engineer

The Role

We are working with an award-winning manufacturer that is looking for an experienced Mechanical Maintenance Engineer to join its engineering team on a Monday to Friday, days-based shift pattern.

This is a varied, hands-on Mechanical Maintenance Engineer role, offering the opportunity to work on machinery refurbishment, planned maintenance, engineering projects and the manufacture of mechanical components.

For a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer who enjoys working on machinery rather than simply carrying out reactive maintenance, this role offers a good mix of maintenance, refurbishment, fitting and project work.

Key Responsibilities

Carry out planned and preventative maintenance across a range of manufacturing machinery.

Refurbish, overhaul and rebuild machinery and mechanical components.

Diagnose mechanical faults and carry out repairs to minimise downtime.

Manufacture, modify and repair mechanical components.

Work on engineering projects, machinery improvements and modifications.

Machine and fit components to precise measurements and fine tolerances.

Use precision measuring equipment including micrometers, verniers and other inspection equipment.

Strip, rebuild and align machinery and mechanical assemblies.

Identify worn or damaged components and determine the appropriate repair or replacement.

Read and work from engineering drawings and technical specifications.

Maintain high standards of workmanship, safety and engineering quality.

The Person

The ideal Mechanical Maintenance Engineer will have strong practical mechanical engineering skills and experience working with industrial machinery within a manufacturing environment.

You should be comfortable with hands-on mechanical work, including dismantling, rebuilding, fitting and component manufacture, and be confident working accurately to fine tolerances.

Experience using micrometers, verniers and other precision measuring equipment is important, along with the ability to read engineering drawings and manufacture or modify components accurately.
