Maintenance Engineer

Maintenance Engineer- £56,000 (Monday to Friday)

We’re looking for a Maintenance Engineer to join an automated factory in Desford, working Monday to Friday on a 10-hour day shift pattern.

This is a great opportunity for an engineer looking for excellent earning potential, no weekends, no bank holiday working and genuine career development.

Benefits:

• 29 days’ holiday per year, including bank holidays
• Overtime on tap all paid at 1.5X
• 8% pension contribution
• No bank holiday working
• No working over Christmas

The hours

You’ll work a rotating two-week pattern:

• Week 1: 06:00–16:00
• Week 2: 08:00–18:00
• Monday to Friday
• 10-hour shifts

The money

The basic contract rate is £17.16 per hour (40 hours) , with additional hours paid at £25.74 per hour (10 hours).

Based on the standard 40 hours plus 10 hours at the enhanced rate, earnings are approximately:

• Weekly: £943.80

• Yearly: £49,077 (basic salary)

• With average bonus £56,000  

The bonus is linked to the amount of product stacked in the yard — essentially, the more product the factory produces and stacks, the bigger the bonus. The average weekly production bonus paid to maintenance staff so far this year is £137.21.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for a hands-on maintenance engineer with a mechanical bias.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Experience working with hydraulics and pneumatics
• Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills
• A background in heavy industry or manufacturing would be ideal, although this isn’t essential
• The ability and willingness to work across both mechanical and electrical disciplines
• A practical, hands-on approach and the confidence to work in a busy, automated environment

Why consider the role?

This is more than just another maintenance position. You’ll be working within a highly automated factory in Desford, with plenty of opportunity to develop your skills and progress your career.

A great salary, enhanced overtime, a strong benefits package and a Monday-to-Friday working pattern, it’s a particularly attractive opportunity for an engineer looking to take their next step.

If you’re an experienced Maintenance Engineer and this sounds like the kind of role you’ve been looking for, get in touch with Josh Sharkey from Stirling Warrington.
