Maintenance Engineer – Machine Tools

When a complex 5-axis machine goes down, getting it back into production quickly takes more than swapping parts – it takes someone who can diagnose the real problem and see the fix through. As a Maintenance Engineer – Machine Tools, you’ll take ownership of sophisticated, high-value machinery, combining fault finding, maintenance and hands-on mechanical work in a stable, site-based position.

You’ll be based at one client site five days a week, giving you the chance to understand the machinery inside out and become a trusted technical contact.

There’s also a relocation package available if you’re considering a move for the right opportunity.

What’s in it for you

• £55,000 salary package (including 7.5 hours guaranteed overtime) plus annual bonus
• Relocation package available
• 27 days’ holiday plus statutory holidays
• Excellent pension and life insurance
• Work with sophisticated 5-axis machinery for a recognised leader within the industry

Your responsibilities as Maintenance Engineer

• Service, maintain and repair complex 5-axis CNC milling machinery
• Diagnose mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and machine performance faults
• Complete mechanical strip-downs, inspections, repairs, rebuilds and set-up work
• Assemble, set up and dismantle hydraulic, pneumatic and large mechanical assemblies
• Carry out planned and reactive maintenance to maximise equipment availability
• Communicate faults, progress and corrective actions clearly while managing technical priorities independently

What we’re looking for in a Maintenance Engineer

• Strong hands-on experience with 5-axis CNC milling or closely related multi-axis machinery
• Proven fault-finding capability across mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Experience maintaining or repairing CNC machinery within a production, manufacturing or specialist machine tool environment
• Siemens controls knowledge, ideally including 840D
