Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer
Mechanical Bias | Manufacturing | Permanent
Location: Diss, Norfolk / Suffolk border
Salary: £46,600 per annum, Weekly Pay
Shift: 4 on 4 off, 12-hour shifts - PM (6pm-6am)
Contract: Permanent, full time
The Opportunity
Synergi are recruiting a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer for a well-established manufacturing business on the Norfolk/Suffolk border.
This is a permanent role within a busy engineering team, working across a broad mix of production plant and site services.
This is a permanent nights position - 4 on 4 off, 6pm to 6am.
The shift is fixed, so there is no rotation onto days and no constantly resetting your sleep.
You will know your pattern well in advance and can plan around it, and the four-day blocks leave your daytimes free for the things that are impossible to arrange around a standard working week.
The site runs a fast-paced operation to strict quality and hygiene standards, so uptime matters.
You will be trusted to make your own calls on breakdowns and to bring ideas forward on how the plant can run better - this is not a role where you simply wait for the next job to land.
The position is mechanically biased with welding and fabrication skills highly valued.
Electrical capability is not essential, but any electrical fault-finding experience will be a genuine advantage.
What You Will Be Doing
Delivering planned preventative maintenance to keep plant running at optimum efficiency
Providing emergency breakdown cover across all production plant and site services
Acting as first-line response on machinery faults, diagnosing and repairing to a high standard
Carrying out welding and fabrication repairs as required
Recording machine history, PPM records and handover information on the site maintenance management system
Identifying and reporting problem areas across plant and services before they become failures
Contributing improvement and cost-reduction ideas for the plant and the wider engineering department
Working to Health & Safety, quality and hygiene standards at all times, and maintaining strong housekeeping across the factory and workshops
What We Are Looking For
A time-served or formally qualified engineer with a mechanical bias
Welding and fabrication skills - strongly preferred
Experience of PPM and reactive maintenance within a manufacturing or production environment
Comfortable working a 4 on 4 off 12-hour nights shift pattern, 6pm to 6am
Comfortable using a computerised maintenance management system (CMMS)
Electrical fault-finding experience - desirable, not essential
A team player with strong attention to detail, who communicates well across the wider factory team
What Is On Offer
£46,600 per annum, paid weekly
Permanent position with a stable, established manufacturer
Nights only shift pattern - fixed, with no rotation onto days
4 on 4 off shift pattern - excellent work/life balance with blocks of time off
Real autonomy on shift - you will be trusted to make the call
A varied role with genuine scope to influence how the site runs
Ongoing training and development within the engineering team
Interested?
Apply with an up-to-date CV and we will be in touch to discuss the role in more detail.
All applications are handled in the strictest confidence.
If this particular role is not quite right for you, we would still be pleased to hear from you.
Synergi work with manufacturing, food, FMCG and heavy industrial clients across East Anglia and the wider UK, on permanent, contract and interim engineering roles - so please do send your CV across and we will keep you in mind for opportunities better suited to your background.
