Job Description

Maintenance Engineer – 6-Month FTC

Northamptonshire

£56,607

4 on 4 off (2 days and 2 nights)

Let’s cut to the chase. You’re a hands-on, problem-solving Maintenance Engineer who knows how to keep machines running and breakdowns at bay. If you’re looking for a job where you’ll be sitting in an office all day, this isn’t it.

The site is a 24/7, highly automated operation. Things move fast there; keeping production running smoothly is no small task. That’s where you come in.

What you’ll be doing:

• Keeping machinery and equipment in tip-top shape.

• Handling breakdowns like a pro—quickly, calmly, and efficiently.

• Getting stuck into fault-finding and general maintenance (strip-downs, inspections, repairs).

• Carrying out planned preventive maintenance (PPM) with precision.

• Always thinking ahead—stocking parts and looking for ways to improve processes.

• Making sure health, safety, and cleanliness standards are never compromised.

What we’re looking for:

• HNC/HND or a recognised apprenticeship in mechanical or electrical engineering.

• A solid grasp of pneumatics and experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

• Calm under pressure, adaptable, and ready to tackle whatever the day throws at you.

• Detail-oriented with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• A team player who knows how to get things done and takes pride in their work.

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive salary

• Enhanced holidays.

• Company sick pay, life insurance, and perks like an EV car scheme and cycle-to-work initiative.

This is a 6-month fixed-term contract with a chance to make a real impact. We want to hear from you if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work
