Maintenance Engineer

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

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 wider package includes workplace pension, private healthcare and profit share bonus. On-site parking and workwear provided.
