We’re looking for a Maintenance Technician to join the on-site engineering team at our Plastics Recycling Facility in Telford.
As AO’s new Maintenance Technician, you will play a massive part in keeping our plant one of the most efficient and advanced in the UK. That means overseeing work to the plant, delivering Planned Maintenance schedules, and getting stuck in with improvement projects to drive the plant’s reliability and keep costs down.
Our plant sets a new standard in separating mixed fridge plastics. Using sink float separation, colour sortation & electrostatic separation, we turn old fridges into a high-quality recycled polymer. Cool, right?
You'll be mixing it up through the week with a shift pattern of 6am and 2pm starts, Monday to Friday.
Here's What You Can Expect To Be Doing
No two days are ever the same at AO Recycling, but here’s a taste of what you’ll get up to:
* Working Monday to Friday day shifts
* Gaining in depth knowledge of our process and plant and contributing ideas for further optimisation
* Get hands on with engineering project work and play a part in new installations or refurbishments
* Carrying out equipment commissioning and testing
* Complete dynamic risk assessments and adopt a ‘clean-as-you-go’ approach to keep our plant super safe
* Keep tabs on any malfunctioning equipment and keep site management in the loop
* Log your daily progress in the Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS)
* Call on your engineering expertise in problem-solving workshops
* Kick off each day with operational review meetings, providing updates on project engineering/optimisation work
A Few Things About You
We don’t expect you to know everything about our technology and equipment, but it’d be amazing if you’re:
* A qualified engineer with mechanical or electrical bias
* Knowledgeable about PLC’s with a desire to learn basic programming skills. (Electrical biased candidates only)
* Experienced within a similar process, production, or manufacturing environment
* Highly organised with the ability to plan and prioritise workload
* Clued-up on Environmental, Health & Safety regulations, and safe systems of work (e.g. plant isolations and safety systems)
* Previous experience in plant installations and optimisations.

Reasonable adjustments
We want to make sure you're given the best possible chance to shine in your interview, so you may need us to do things in a slightly different way. This could be requesting a ground floor room or bringing along a sign interpreter to name just a few.
Fill in the below box if there's anything we need to know so we can adjust the process to support you.
AO is for everyone
We should all feel that we belong. That's why we are creating a welcoming and inclusive place to work.
We're proud to be different. From how we look to the way we talk to our customers, we skip to the beat of our very own drum. We know that being different together is our superpower and we celebrate it because it makes us stronger, more creative, and better at what we do.
We believe the people we employ should reflect the diversity of our customer base; that way, we can communicate in a way that recognises all backgrounds, races, ethnicities, genders, ages, religions, abilities, and sexual orientations.
And that's why we're asking these questions. Making sure our recruitment process is inclusive is a key part of what we're doing at AO to encourage diversity as an employer.
How will we use the data?
After we've collated the data, we'll look at the patterns to assess if we are inclusive at each stage. If it turns out that we aren't, then the data may help us identify where we can improve.
The data will never have any bearing on whether an application is successful or not and will not be available to hiring managers at any stage.
How do you describe your gender identity?
How do you describe your ethnic background?
How do you like to describe your sexual identity or sexual orientation?
Do you identify as a person with a disability or are you a person with accessibility needs?
How would you describe your Neurodiversity?
