You'll become part of a specialist engineering team focused on identifying root causes, delivering sustainable corrective actions, and improving long-term equipment performance - not just fixing the same problem repeatedly.\nWorking Monday to Friday (day shift), you'll support a wide range of manufacturing equipment, including packaging lines, process equipment, filling systems, mixing vessels, utilities, and automation systems.\nThis role is for you if you enjoy solving problems that others haven't been able to fix. You're naturally curious, analytical, and comfortable working across different types of manufacturing equipment.\nYou thrive in a collaborative environment, communicate well with both engineers and manufacturing teams, and take pride in finding practical, long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes.\nMost importantly, you enjoy being part of a team that will play a key role in improving equipment reliability and helping shape the future of engineering performance at the Speke site.\nThis role combines hands-on technical support with proactive reliability improvement activity, making it ideal for someone who enjoys both fault finding and preventing issues from recurring.\nYour Responsibilities:\nDiagnose and resolve electrical, mechanical, and automation equipment failures across the manufacturing site.\nInvestigate recurring equipment issues, identify root causes, and implement sustainable corrective actions to prevent recurrence.\nCarry out both reactive maintenance and planned reliability activities to maximise equipment availability.\nSupport continuous improvement initiatives to improve equipment performance, reliability, and operational efficiency.\nWork across a diverse range of equipment, including packaging lines, filling and mixing systems, utilities, and automated manufacturing equipment.\nCollaborate closely with Manufacturing, Operations, Engineering, and Maintenance teams to minimise downtime and improve site performance.\nRecord maintenance activities using the site's Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS), ensuring accurate failure reporting, corrective actions, and maintenance history are captured.\nPromote safe working practices while ensuring compliance with site quality and engineering standards.\nSupport problem-solving and root cause investigations using a structured approach to identify trends, failure modes, and long-term improvement opportunities.\nContribute to improving equipment uptime, reliability, and maintainability on key site assets.\nWhat You Need to Succeed (minimum qualifications):\nNVQ Level 3, ONC, HNC, or equivalent qualification.\nExperience in a manufacturing or industrial maintenance environment with exposure to fault finding, equipment improvement, and planned maintenance activities.\nMulti-skilled engineering experience with both mechanical and electrical fault finding.\nStrong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.\nAbility to work independently while building effective relationships across multiple teams.\nAbility to analyse repeat equipment failures and support practical, data-led solutions.\nGood communication skills and the ability to work effectively with operators, engineers, and cross-functional teams.\nWhat will give you a competitive edge (preferred qualifications):\nExperience working within pharmaceutical, chemical, food, FMCG, or other regulated manufacturing environments.\nKnowledge of PLC-controlled equipment and industrial automation, including the ability to carry out first-line fault finding on automated systems.\nExperience with reliability engineering, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement.\nExperience using condition monitoring techniques such as vibration analysis or ultrasound.\nVCAT Level I qualification (or willingness to work towards certification).\nExperience using CMMS data to identify repeat failures, track trends, and support reliability improvement plans.\nExperience working with a wide range of pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment, including packaging lines, process equipment, filling systems, mixing vessels, site utilities, and automated production systems, within a regulated and quality-focused environment.\nDon’t meet every single requirement?
