ATA are working with one of the UK’s leading logistics automation providers, established for over a century and now supporting global clients across multiple industries. With 13 sites in the UK and further projects in tender, the business has a proven reputation for designing, commissioning, and maintaining world-class automated systems.

Known for investing heavily in training and development, this employer prioritises progression and internal promotion.

What you’ll be doing
As a Maintenance Team Leader, you’ll oversee a team of multi-skilled engineers across a highly automated facility. You’ll remain hands-on while taking on leadership responsibilities to ensure site performance, safety, and continuous improvement.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading a shift team of engineers to deliver all planned and reactive maintenance in line with KPIs.
• Electrical fault finding across inverters, relays, contactors, sensors, and drives.
• Mechanical maintenance on shafts, bearings, chains, belts, pulleys, sprockets, and gear drives.
• Coordinating breakdown priorities and ensuring efficient, safe resolution.
• Coaching, mentoring, and carrying out performance reviews with engineers.
• Ensuring compliance with all H&S, method statements, and risk assessments.
• Driving CI projects and reliability improvements across the site.
• Liaising with stakeholders to deliver outstanding customer service on a 24/7 operation.

This is a customer-facing, high-responsibility Maintenance Team Leader role where your technical expertise and leadership skills will directly impact performance.

What the client is looking for

• A recognised Level 3 in Electrical or Multi-Skilled Engineering (NVQ, City & Guilds, BTEC, etc.)
• Strong electrical competence, confident in safe isolations, schematics, and multimeter use.
• Previous team leadership or supervisory experience – though strong maintenance engineers aspiring to leadership will also be considered.
• Background in automation, robotics, FMCG, logistics, or high-volume manufacturing.
• Ability to work at heights and adapt to changing site demands.
• A confident communicator who can coach others and lead under pressure.

The right Maintenance Team Leader will be calm, proactive, and able to balance hands-on technical delivery with leading and developing people.
