If you’re the kind of person who gets excited by perfectly colour-coded spreadsheets and endless "strategy meetings", this probably isn’t for you.
But if you’ve spent real time in the guts of a maintenance operation- wrench in one hand, plan in the other- you’ll get why this role matters.
This is a big site. 10+ acres of heavy kit, constant production, and not much room for error. You’ll be leading the team that keeps it all running- planning, fixing, upgrading, and making sure it doesn’t all go sideways when a pump decides to call it a day.
Salary: £59,000
Shifts: Regular Days
Here’s what we’re actually looking for:
Someone who knows how to lead without shouting
Can turn chaos into a planned shutdown
Doesn’t flinch at KPIs, compliance, or audits
Has the confidence to stand in for the Maintenance Manager
And maybe most importantly- can spot a maintenance issue before it becomes a production disaster
You’ll be running a Planning team, a Machine Shop, and all the predictable (and unpredictable) stuff that comes with a fast-moving, mechanically intense operation. You’ll be shaping how maintenance is done- not just firefighting when things go wrong.
Yes, there’s training and development. Yes, there’s a strong team already in place. And yes, the site is backed by a global business with serious ambition.
You?
HNC/HND in Mechanical Engineering or something similar
Strong background in production or manufacturing (not just theory—real stuff)
Comfortable dealing with complexity and pressure
Proven leadership experience
Someone who can influence, improve, and deliver
If you’re looking for a maintenance role where you can genuinely make a difference this one’s worth a look.
