Job Description
A Maintenance Leadership Role That Gives You Your Week Back.
If you're an experienced Maintenance Supervisor, Engineering Team Leader or Senior Maintenance Engineer looking for the next step, this opportunity offers something genuinely different.
Working just four days across the weekend, you'll complete your 40-hour week before Monday afternoon, leaving you with over three full days off every week before returning on Friday morning.
If you're looking for a better work-life balance without compromising on salary or responsibility, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.
The Working Pattern:
Friday: 8 hours (Day Shift - Flexibility)
Saturday: 12 hours (6:00am - 6:00pm)
Sunday: 12 hours (6:00am - 6:00pm)
Monday: 8 hours (6:00am - 2:00pm)
The Opportunity
Weekend Engineering Supervisor to lead engineering operations during a period where senior management presence is naturally reduced.
You'll be expected to lead from the front—remaining hands-on when needed whilst providing leadership, direction and technical support to a close-knit team of three Maintenance Engineers.
It's the ideal balance between practical engineering and people management.
You'll have the autonomy to make decisions, prioritise workloads, coordinate planned maintenance and ensure production is supported safely and efficiently throughout the weekend.
What You'll Be Doing
* Leading and motivating a team of three Maintenance Engineers.
* Planning and coordinating preventative maintenance activities.
* Supervising reactive maintenance and breakdown response.
* Remaining hands-on with fault finding, diagnostics and repairs when required.
* Prioritising engineering workload to minimise downtime.
* Ensuring planned maintenance is completed to schedule.
* Recording maintenance activities and work orders accurately.
* Driving high engineering standards and continuous improvement.
* Identifying recurring equipment issues and feeding reliability improvements back into the wider engineering function.
* Taking ownership of engineering decisions during weekend operations where there is less senior management support available.
Who We're Looking For
You could currently be a:
* Engineering Supervisor
* Maintenance Supervisor
* Engineering Team Leader
* Maintenance Team Leader
* Senior Maintenance Engineer ready to step into leadership
While an electrical bias would be advantageous due to the skill mix within the existing team, we're equally interested in mechanically biased engineers who have a proven ability to lead, motivate and develop maintenance teams.
You'll ideally have:
* Previous experience leading or supervising maintenance engineers.
* A strong maintenance background within manufacturing.
* The confidence to make decisions and manage engineering priorities independently.
* Excellent fault-finding and problem-solving ability.
* Experience planning preventative maintenance.
* A proactive leadership style and the ability to get the best from a small team.
What's On Offer
£54,000 - £58,000
Excellent work-life balance with a unique four-day working pattern.
Company pension.
Generous annual leave.
Ongoing training and development.
Employee wellbeing programme.
Cycle to Work scheme.
Free on-site parking.
Long-term career opportunities with an established manufacturing business.
If you're looking for a role where you can combine your engineering expertise with leadership responsibility—and enjoy a working pattern that gives you significantly more personal time—we'd love to hear from you.
