Ready for a fresh challenge where your mechanical skills actually make a difference?

We’re working with a long-established, family-run manufacturer based in Hull, looking for a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer to keep production running smoothly. This isn’t just another maintenance job—it’s a chance to join a business that values its team, supports sustainability, and exports to over 50 countries worldwide.

This role suits someone hands-on, self-sufficient, and mechanically sharp—someone who thrives when given the responsibility to own the maintenance function.

What You’ll Be Doing:

* Reactive & Planned Maintenance: Keeping metalworking machinery, presses, and hydraulic/pneumatic systems running at their best.

* Hands-On Fixes: Troubleshooting faults across mechanical systems (and a bit of electrical – think sensors, switches, control panels).

* Site Machinery Oversight: Spotting issues before they become problems, staying ahead of the curve.

* General Maintenance: From swapping out fuses to helping keep the site running smoothly.

* Collaboration: Working alongside the Operations Manager and sharing best practice with the Engineering Director.

What We’re Looking For:

* Time-served Mechanical Engineer or NVQ Level 2 (or above) in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering.

* Solid experience with hydraulics, pneumatics, tooling, and mechanical fault-finding.

* Comfortable working solo—you’ll be the go-to engineer on-site.

* Bonus if you’ve got an FLT Counterbalance licence (not essential).

* Previous experience in a manufacturing or metalworking environment is a big plus.

What’s in It for You?

* £21.09 per hour + overtime paid at time and a half

* Stable, Monday to Friday days-only shift—no nights, no call-outs

* 25 days holiday + bank holidays

* Pension auto-enrolment

* Join a well-established, people-first business that genuinely invests in its team
