Maintenance Engineer – Double Days £50,5K
Location: Lancashire (commutable from Burnley, Accrington, Blackburn, Barnoldswick, Clitheroe)
Salary: £50,500 + Overtime Available (excellent rates)
Shift Pattern: Double Days (no nights, half shift Friday)
The Opportunity
My client is recruiting for a Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join their well-established and forward-thinking manufacturing business operating a double day shift pattern.
This is more than a reactive maintenance role. You’ll be a key part of a site that actively promotes Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Continuous Improvement (CI), giving you the opportunity to influence reliability strategy, drive improvements, and play a hands-on role in enhancing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). They are also offering full PLC training.
The Role
Reporting to the Maintenance Shift Leader, you will provide hands-on engineering support to production, ensuring equipment reliability, minimising downtime, and maintaining high engineering standards across site.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive breakdown support
- Diagnosing and resolving mechanical, electrical, and basic PLC/control faults
- Supporting root cause analysis (RCA) to prevent repeat failures
- Actively contributing to TPM activities including autonomous maintenance support and asset care development
- Identifying and implementing Continuous Improvement initiatives to improve reliability, reduce waste, and enhance performance
- Monitoring equipment performance data and supporting OEE improvement plans
- Assisting with small projects, upgrades, and equipment modifications
- Ensuring all work is completed safely, efficiently, and to high quality standards
This role offers genuine involvement in CI projects and structured improvement activities — not just firefighting breakdowns.
TPM & Continuous Improvement Involvement
You will have the opportunity to:
- Participate in TPM pillars and improvement workshops
- Contribute to root cause investigations and long-term reliability solutions
- Support development of maintenance standards and best practices
- Work closely with production teams to improve asset ownership and performance
- Be involved in planned engineering projects and equipment upgrades
If you enjoy improving systems rather than just fixing faults, this environment will suit you.
Requirements
- NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
- Proven experience in a multi skilled maintenance engineering role within manufacturing or industrial environments
- Strong fault-finding skills across mechanical and/or electrical systems
- Basic PLC fault-finding capability (training available for development)
- Experience contributing to CI, TPM, or reliability improvement initiatives (desirable but not essential)
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, production-focused environment
- Strong commitment to health & safety and engineering best practice
What’s On Offer
- £50,500 basic salary
- Excellent overtime rates
- Permanent, stable position with structured hours (no night shifts)
- Early finish on Fridays
- Ongoing training and development, including full PLC training
- Supportive and skilled engineering team
- Real involvement in TPM and Continuous Improvement projects
