Looking for a maintenance role without 12-hour shifts or nights?
We’re recruiting a Maintenance Engineer for a large, established manufacturing site in the Launceston area, offering an attractive days-based shift pattern alongside plenty of hands-on engineering work.
Working 5:00am - 2:00pm, you’ll finish early enough to have your afternoons and evenings back, with no night shifts. There is also a 1 in 4 week call-out rota where you will be paid overtime at enhanced rates for any callouts.
This is a busy production environment where engineering plays a critical role in keeping the site running. You’ll get involved in breakdowns, fault-finding, planned maintenance, machinery repairs and improvement work across a varied range of production equipment.
The Role*Electrical and mechanical fault-finding across production and processing machinery

*Responding to breakdowns and getting equipment safely back into production

*Planned and preventative maintenance

*Fault-finding on motors, sensors, contactors, relays, drives and electrical control systems

*Mechanical repairs including bearings, belts, chains, sprockets, gearboxes, pumps and seals

*Fault-finding and repairs across pneumatic and hydraulic systems

*Supporting machinery modifications, installations and improvement projects

*Identifying recurring faults and helping improve equipment reliability

*Participating in a 1 in 4 call-out rota

What We’re Looking ForWe’re open on industry background and would be interested in engineers from manufacturing, food/FMCG, packaging, automotive, aerospace, heavy industry, marine or Armed Forces backgrounds.
Ideally, you’ll be apprentice-trained or hold a recognised Level 3 engineering qualification, with good hands-on maintenance and fault-finding experience.
You don’t need to be a perfect 50/50 multi-skilled engineer. Electrically or mechanically biased engineers will be considered, providing you’re comfortable carrying out maintenance across both disciplines.
What’s on Offer?*Circa £43,000 per annum

*Overtime opportunities

*Days-based 5:00am - 2:00pm hours

*No night shifts

*1 in 4 call-out rota
