Job Description:
We are recruiting for a multi skilled Mechanical and Electrical Maintenance Engineer to join a close-knit engineering team at a national recycling facility.

The plant is currently undergoing investment and expansion.

*Assist with equipment improvements, modifications, and upgrades to enhance performance and reliability.
*Support external contractors during scheduled 12-hour shutdowns (every two weeks), when major repairs and overhauls take place.
*Work closely with fellow engineers and production teams to maintain a smooth and efficient operation.
Qualifications Required:
*Proven experience in a multi-skilled maintenance role within a recycling, manufacturing, or heavy industrial environment.
*Strong understanding of conveyor systems, motors, sensors, and automated machinery.
*Confident with fault-finding on both electrical and mechanical systems.
*Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and schematics.
