Reed Engineering & Manufacturing are working with a leading Engineering & Manufacturing company

Electrical Maintenance Engineer 

The maintenance engineering function supports the safe and reliable operation of site equipment through a combination of planned maintenance, fault response, and continuous improvement activity.

The team works across a range of production and support areas, maintaining electrical and associated systems to ensure consistent performance and minimal disruption to operations.

What the Team Does

Day-to-day activity is a balance of preventative maintenance and reactive work, responding to issues as they arise while also working to reduce the likelihood of repeat problems.

Typical responsibilities across the team include:

• Diagnosing and resolving issues across plant and equipment
• Completing scheduled maintenance to support operational reliability
• Recording maintenance activity within site systems
• Supporting planning and prioritisation of workload
• Managing and sourcing required spare parts and materials
• Working alongside external specialists when needed

There is also an ongoing focus on identifying improvements to equipment performance and maintenance processes.

How the Team Operates

The environment is production-driven, and priorities can shift quickly depending on operational demands. The team works collaboratively to respond to these changes, ensuring work is completed safely and efficiently.

Key focus areas include:

• Maintaining safe working practices at all times
• Delivering consistent and reliable workmanship
• Applying a structured approach to problem solving
• Supporting overall site performance

Team Capability

The team brings a mix of experience across electrical and general engineering disciplines, with the ability to work both independently and collectively to resolve issues and maintain equipment standards.

There is an expectation of ongoing development, both in terms of technical capability and ways of working.

General Expectations

• Contribute to a safe and compliant working environment
• Support plant reliability and operational performance
• Maintain clear and accurate records of work completed
• Engage with continuous improvement activity
• Remain flexible in response to changing priorities
• CANDIDATES FROM A HEAVY ENGINEERING OR METALS BACKGROUND WITH FURNACE KNOWLEDGE WOULD BE HIGHLY ADVANTAGEOUS ALTHOUGH OTHER MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES WILL BE CONSIDERED
