Lead Maintenance Engineer (Electrical Bias / Multi-Skilled)

Corby, North Northamptonshire | £48,000 - £52,000 + Pension + Holidays + Bonus

Must Love Fixing Things—Not Just Smacking Them and Hoping for the Best!

If you’ve ever looked at a broken machine and thought, “Not on my watch,” then keep reading. We’re on the hunt for a Lead Maintenance Engineer to battle rogue PLCs, tame wild motors, and prevent mechanical meltdowns before they turn into full-blown soap operas.

Are you electrically biased, mechanically gifted, and capable of fixing things without just hitting them harder? Can you lead a team, handle paperwork without falling asleep, and stay calm when a machine starts making that noise? If so, grab your toolbox and your best problem-solving face—this job’s for you.

What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Looking Like a Legend in Hi-Vis)

Planned Preventative Maintenance – Because breakdowns have a terrible sense of timing.
Electrical Troubleshooting – PLCs, motors, inverter drives… if it sparks or spins, it’s your domain.
Leading the Team – Guide, plan, and keep things running (bonus points if you make it look effortless).
Maintenance System Management – Yes, there’s paperwork, but we promise it won’t bite.
Safety & Compliance – Because we prefer our engineers fully intact.
Continuous Improvement – Finding better ways to do things, because you’re a genius like that.

What We’re Looking For (No Wizards, Just Practical Magicians)

Solid electrical & mechanical engineering experience – preferably the kind that doesn’t involve duct tape and prayers.
A recognized electrical qualification – because we like our sparks inside the circuits, not flying across the room.
Planned Preventative Maintenance expertise – thinking ahead so you’re not always playing firefighter.
Knowledge of PLCs, motors, drives & electrical drawings – you don’t need to be a robot, just smarter than one.
Comfortable working at heights – MEWP skills required (but no superhero landings, please).

What’s in It for You? (Besides the Fame and Glory)

Salary: Up to £48k (+ call-out pay, because heroes deserve extra).
Annual Bonus – A little thank-you for keeping the place running.
Perks Package – High street vouchers, cashback schemes & more (because you have a life outside work… right?).
Career Progression & Training – We believe in levelling up, just like in video games.
ShareSave Scheme – Because success is best when shared.

If you’re the type who can spot a failing machine from a mile away, solve problems without breaking a sweat, and actually enjoy fixing things—we want to hear from you!

Apply now and bring your tools (and your A-game)!

Note: This role is only available to candidates with the right to work in the UK. We are unable to provide sponsorship or student visa support
