• Work closely with operational teams, contractors, and engineering colleagues to deliver maintenance activities, capital projects, refurbishments, and equipment replacement programmes.
• Ensure all work is completed in line with health and safety standards, company procedures, and engineering best practice.
• Identify opportunities to improve asset reliability, performance, and maintenance strategies to enhance operational efficiency.
• Effectively plan and manage your workload across sites in Stockport and Leigh, ensuring a timely and professional response to operational needs.
• Work efficiently to deliver value while meeting operational, maintenance, and business objectives.

What You’ll Bring

• Time-served apprenticeship, or NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) qualification in a relevant engineering discipline.
• Full UK driving licence.
• Practical experience in mechanical maintenance within industrial, utilities, manufacturing, or process environments, with strong fault-finding and diagnostic capabilities.
• Excellent organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with colleagues and wider teams.
• A proactive, flexible approach with the willingness to work across a range of environments, including confined spaces where required.

Why This Role?

This role offers the freedom and autonomy of a field-based position while providing the support of an experienced engineering team. You'll enjoy a varied workload, exposure to a broad range of assets, and the chance to play a key role in delivering essential services across the North West.

With a home-based start, company van, and opportunities to develop your technical expertise, this is a rewarding position for an engineer who takes pride in delivering high-quality work and making a difference every day.

Benefits

• 26 days annual leave, increasing to 30 days with service, plus bank holidays.
