Mechanical Maintenance Engineer

Mechanical Maintenance Engineer
🔥 Tired of production-line firefighting and want a role where your mechanical skills are actually valued?

📍 Location: Wakefield
💷 Salary: £40,000 – £43,000 per year

🎁 Benefits:
✔️ Days-based role – no shifts
✔️ Early finish every Friday
✔️ Stable, long-term opportunity
✔️ Hands-on mechanical work (not just line maintenance)
✔️ Supportive, experienced engineering team

✅ Must Haves:
✔️ Strong mechanical maintenance background
✔️ Experience working within a manufacturing or workshop environment
✔️ Confident fault finding on mechanical systems
✔️ Experience working on drive systems, rollers, belts, and rotating equipment
✔️ Proactive, hands-on approach

⏰ Hours:
Monday – Thursday: 07:00 – 16:00
Friday: 07:00 – 13:00

🚀 The Opportunity
This isn’t your typical maintenance role.

You’ll be working in a practical, hands-on environment maintaining and repairing a wide range of machinery and equipment. The site operates a mix of older and modern equipment, so the role requires a strong mechanical mindset rather than just swapping parts.

If you enjoy getting stuck into machinery, diagnosing faults, stripping down components, and carrying out proper repairs — this role will give you that.

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing

  • Maintaining and repairing a variety of mechanical equipment
  • Fault finding on gearboxes, bearings, shafts, belts, and drive systems
  • Working on rollers, rotating equipment, and material handling systems
  • Carrying out component repairs and rebuilds
  • Supporting hydraulic and pneumatic systems
  • Completing PPMs and responding to breakdowns
  • Supporting improvement work across the site

🌟 What We’re Looking For

  • A hands-on engineer who enjoys practical mechanical work
  • Someone comfortable working on a variety of machinery (not just automated lines)
  • Strong fault-finding and problem-solving ability
  • A reliable team player who can also work independently
  • Apprentice trained or time-served (preferred)

💥 Why This Role Stands Out
✔️ No shifts – strong work-life balance
✔️ Early Friday finish
✔️ Proper hands-on engineering (strip, repair, rebuild)
✔️ Variety of machinery — no two days the same
✔️ Stable, long-term opportunity
