Mechanical Maintenance Engineer
Job Description:
Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer
Electrical or Mechanical Bias
Location: Johnstone
What's On Offer?
You'll start at approximately £40,300 per annum on day shift, with training provided to get you fully competent on the operation.
Following competency, the rotational shifts attract 20% back-shift and 33% night-shift allowances, creating potential earnings in the region of £47,000–£50,000.
There are also overtime opportunities, including weekend maintenance/project work.
The business supports ongoing training and operates a structured Level 1–3 skills matrix, providing a clear route for technical and career progression, including opportunities to progress to Chargehand level.
The Opportunity
Are you a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer with experience in a manufacturing environment?
We are looking for engineers with either an electrical or mechanical bias to join an established engineering team supporting a busy manufacturing operation.
Experience working with Injection Moulding, Blow Moulding or Extrusion Moulding equipment would be a significant advantage.
You will initially work day shift while learning the site, machinery and processes. Once competent, you will move onto the rotational shift pattern and benefit from the associated shift allowances.
The Role
As a Multi-Skilled Engineer, you will:
* Carry out electrical and mechanical maintenance across production equipment
* Complete planned preventative and corrective maintenance
* Diagnose faults and respond to machinery breakdowns
* Work to minimise downtime and maximise equipment availability
* Support continuous improvement initiatives
* Assist with engineering projects and equipment upgrades
* Work collaboratively with production and engineering colleagues
* Maintain high safety and engineering standards
What We're Looking For
You'll ideally have:
* Previous experience as a maintenance or multi-skilled engineer within manufacturing
* A recognised electrical or mechanical engineering qualification
* Strong fault-finding and diagnostic capabilities
* Hands-on experience maintaining production machinery
* Injection Moulding, Blow Moulding or Extrusion Moulding experience is highly desirable
* A willingness to develop skills across both electrical and mechanical disciplines
* Flexibility to work rotational shifts after the initial training period
