Maintenance Engineer – 6-Month FTC Northamptonshire £56,607 4 on 4 off (2 days and 2 nights) Let’s cut to the chase. You’re a hands-on, problem-solving Maintenance Engineer who knows how to keep machines running and breakdowns at bay. If you’re looking for a job where you’ll be sitting in an office all day, this isn’t it. The site is a 24/7, highly automated operation. Things move fast there; keeping production running smoothly is no small task. That’s where you come in. What you’ll be doing: Positive can-do attitude. A go-getter who is always looking to improve how things are done. Keeping machinery and equipment in tip-top shape. Handling breakdowns like a pro—quickly, calmly, and efficiently. Getting stuck into fault-finding and general maintenance (strip-downs, inspections, repairs). Carrying out planned preventive maintenance (PPM) with precision. Always thinking ahead—stocking parts and looking for ways to improve processes. Making sure health, safety, and cleanliness standards are never compromised. What we’re looking for: HNC/HND or a recognised apprenticeship in mechanical or electrical engineering. A solid grasp of pneumatics and experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. Calm under pressure, adaptable, and ready to tackle whatever the day throws. Detail-oriented with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. A team player who knows how to get things done and takes pride in their work. This is a 6-month fixed-term contract with a chance of becoming permanent. We want to hear if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work.
