JOBS AT RUTLAND PLASTICS

Maintenance Engineer

Due to ongoing growth and restructuring, we have a need to recruit a Maintenance Engineer to join our maintenance team.

Applicants must be electrically biased and possess a knowledge of PLC’s, hydraulics and pneumatics, and while experience of plastic injection moulding machines would be an advantage it is not essential as we favour positive work ethics and shared company values over experience.

Working hours: day shifts 6:00am – 2:00pm / 2:00pm – 10:00pm, rotating weekly.

Our ideal candidate will be extremely reliable and have a great ‘can do’ attitude, be able to prioritise work effectively and competently so that repairs are resolved quickly with minimal downtime; note we would consider an applicant part-way through their apprenticeship who can clearly demonstrate these qualities.

The salary – £32,000 plus the possibility of overtime. The wider package includes workplace pension, private healthcare and profit share bonus. On-site parking and workwear provided. Generous 32 days’ holidays (increasing with years of service) to include Christmas shutdown and bank holidays.
