Job Description:

Contract opportunity
3 month contract (Potential to extend)
From £35 per hour
Outside IR35
Shifts include days and nights

Experience of working in a fast-paced, automated, distribution environment or similar?

I am looking to speak with experienced multi-skilled maintenance engineers for a new contract position with a company based in the Leicester region.

Working on a rotating shift pattern of days and nights, you will be required to work alongside the existing team of maintenance engineers on both reactive and preventative tasks in supporting the facilities distribution activities.

The client, a large intralogistics business, needs additional support for a likely period of 3 months. You will be working in partnership with the existing permanent engineering team to maintain a variety of distribution equipment including conveyors, tippers and pallet wrappers.

Due to site regulations, you MUST hold a minimum of Level 3 NVQ in a relevant engineering discipline and you must have relevant multi-skilled experience of both electrical and mechanical fault-finding and repair. Experience of PLC fault finding is also highly beneficial.

Key requirements:

• Proven experience of working in a similar maintenance engineering role
   
• Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills

• Perform planned preventive maintenance (PPM) and reactive breakdown support on a range of automated equipment including conveyors, sortation systems, robotics, PLC-controlled machinery and production lines.

• Diagnose and fault-find on electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems, ensuring minimal downtime and safe, efficient restoration of operations.

• Support continuous improvement initiatives by identifying recurring faults, implementing root cause corrective actions (RCCA) and contributing to reliability and performance optimisation projects.

• Ensure compliance with health & safety standards, complete accurate maintenance documentation (CMMS), and collaborate closely with operations and engineering teams to maintain high equipment availability and performance targets.
