Multi-Skilled Engineer – Days

£42K–£45K | Monday to Friday | Proper Engineering, Not Pretend Projects

Ever found yourself fixing a machine and wondering why no one else bothered to learn how it actually works?

Good. You’re exactly who we’re after.

This is a multi-skilled role — properly multi-skilled — not just “tighten a bolt and tick the box” stuff. Electrical, mechanical, hydraulics, pneumatics, PLCs, a bit of machining if needed — the lot.

You’ll be part of an engineering team that doesn’t sit around waiting for permission. Something breaks, you sort it. Something could be better, you improve it. A project needs pushing? You get stuck in.

It’s a days-based role (Monday to Friday, 42 hours), but there’s a light call-out rota — just Monday to Wednesday evenings, and not every week. In return, you’re paid well, get a strong bonus scheme, and you’re not on shifts.

What you’ll be doing:

• Hands-on breakdown response and maintenance (no babysitting required)
• Fault-finding across electrical and mechanical kit – including Siemens PLCs (S5/S7), Eurotherm, Uni Drives
• Helping run improvement projects – not just standing nearby
• Machining, fabricating, wiring, rebuilding, diagnosing – whatever keeps the place running
• Keeping reports and records tidy enough to survive an audit (without going full clipboard zombie)

What you’ll need:

• 17th Edition and some BTEC or C&G mechanical/electrical quals
• Experience fault-finding on hydraulics, pneumatics, and PLC-driven systems
• Ability to use workshop gear (lathe, mill, etc.) without needing a YouTube tutorial
• A bit of initiative. (You know, the thing most job specs pretend to want but never reward.)

What you get:

• £42,000 – £45,000
• Strong monthly bonus (based on individual performance, not team mood)
• 33 days holiday (yes, that includes stats)
• Medical cash plan, cycle to work, and all the usual sensible perks

If you’re tired of maintenance jobs where you spend more time waiting for parts than fixing things — this might be more your pace.
