Maintenance Engineer – Machine Tools

When a complex 5-axis machine goes down, getting it back into production quickly takes more than swapping parts – it takes someone who can diagnose the real problem and see the fix through. As a Maintenance Engineer – Machine Tools, you'll take ownership of sophisticated, high-value machinery, combining fault finding, maintenance and hands-on mechanical work in a stable, site-based position.

You'll be based at one client site five days a week, giving you the chance to understand the machinery inside out and become a trusted technical contact. There's also a relocation package available if you're considering a move for the right opportunity.
