Maintenance Engineer

Electrically Biased Maintenance Engineer

Mid - Wales £38,000 to £45,000 per annum

What You'll Do:

You'll join a small maintenance team supporting a contract packing and manufacturing operation. Working days alongside production, you'll be responsible for planned and reactive maintenance across a varied range of machinery.

Your role will focus on electrical fault finding, breakdown response and improvement work across conveyors, bucket elevators, bag weighers, heat sealers, robotics, and mixing equipment. You'll also support mechanical tasks such as replacing rollers, motors, and gearboxes, working within a multi-skilled environment.

You'll be involved in fault finding on PLC-controlled systems, using HMIs and ladder logic to diagnose issues, while working closely with experienced colleagues and external suppliers on more complex control or robotics problems.

What You'll Bring:

\n
• Apprenticeship trained or NVQ Level 3 qualified in Electrical Engineering or similar
\n
• 3 to 5 years' experience in a manufacturing or industrial maintenance environment
\n
• Strong electrical fault-finding skills on panels, motors, drives and control systems
\n
• Basic to intermediate PLC fault-finding experience, ideally Siemens or Mitsubishi
\n
• Willingness to carry out mechanical maintenance on conveyors, elevators and gearboxes
\n
• Experience in food, feed, packaging or dusty environments would be advantageous
\n
• 18th Edition qualification is desirable but not essential
\n
• A reliable, practical approach suited to a days-based role
\n

Why You Should Apply:

This is an excellent opportunity to move into a stable, days-based maintenance role within a long-established business. You'll benefit from a consistent 7am to 4pm pattern, minimal overtime, and no shift work.

The salary is strong for a day's role, with flexibility depending on experience, and the environment offers long-term security, training support, and the chance to develop your electrical and PLC capability further. For those interested, future progression into senior or supervisory responsibilities is achievable over time.
