Company

We are actively recruiting for a Maintenance Engineer to work within a large international company at one of their premium, new and modern factories in Hampshire. You will benefit from an established, friendly and loyal team of Maintenance Engineers who provide planned maintenance & respond to breakdowns within their fast-paced production environment.

The opportunity offers you the chance to receive training to cover both disciplines, so those who are either fully mechanical or fully electrical are very much encouraged to apply. As long as you're willing to learn and take on the training required.

If you are a qualified engineer with experience of maintenance or service work, looking for a great opportunity to sink your teeth into and build a bright future, this is the job for you!

The Role

Working under the direction of the senior engineer, this Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer will provide their efforts to complete allocated mechanical & electrical maintenance tasks and projects, ensuring quality and completion of the tasks are delivered within the agreed timescales.

Responsibilities include undertaking planned maintenance, reacting to breakdowns, delivering equipment upgrades, new installations and infrastructure changes, together with building maintenance as & whenever required.

This is a multi-skilled environment, however either bias is acceptable with help and support provided for the Maintenance Engineer to improve the lesser discipline.
