Electrical Maintenance Engineer – working permanent Weekend Shifts. If you fancy working condensed hours over a 3-day week, this could be a good move. An opportunity has arisen for a qualified and experienced electrical maintenance engineer working (Friday to Sunday 05.30am – 17.30pm) (Saturday to Monday 05.30am – 17.30pm) based in The East Midlands. Working for an established UK manufacturer, the package offers a salary of £42500 plus a range of attractive employee benefits and ongoing career training and development and paid overtime.
This position requires permanent weekend working, therefore flexibility between Friday and Monday each week is a must. Your electrical maintenance engineering skills will include the continuous maintenance of fully automated machinery and plant equipment, ensuring that all equipment and services are maintained to the highest Health and Safety and operating standards. You will be responsible for fault finding and diagnostic checks and repairs on 3 phase controls including PLC’s (Siemens 7).
There is a consistent need to reduce engineering down time, therefore the need to respond rapidly to machine breakdowns and failures is critical, working within the wider engineering team to deliver, develop and improve maintenance schedules. Ideally educated to HNC/ONC and/or NVQ Level 3 in electrical engineering or as a time served engineer, you will evidence at least 3-5 years previous, relevant electrical maintenance engineering experience. Reporting to the site engineering manager, you will need to undertake projects and assist with all on site installations and machinery/equipment assessment.
As an Electrical Maintenance Engineer, there is an expectation to help train production operators in the operation of site machinery and equipment, endorsing high standards of work output, identifying any areas for immediate remedial action, ensuring that all machinery and equipment performance is maintained at optimum levels.
Naturally, there is a need to comply with all Health and Safety operating procedures, identifying, and managing risk, reporting on any accident, assessing near misses and any property damage caused at any time. A very challenging and rewarding mechanical engineering vacancy that offers career stability.
