Join a UK Industry Leader as a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer

This is more than just a maintenance role – it’s a chance to join a business that dominates its sector, producing a specialist product used across major UK infrastructure projects. With over 50% national market share and part of a wider group with 19 UK sites and 2,300+ employees, you’ll be joining a company investing in its future – and yours.

A recent £1.8 million upgrade has brought in automation, AI and smarter systems. You’ll be working in a modernised, fully indoor environment, with machines built for heavy-duty work and supported by a stable, proactive engineering team that takes pride in performance, safety and results.

Your Role

Key responsibilities:

• Mechanical fault-finding and repairs
• Welding (essential skill)
• Maintenance on hydraulics, pneumatics, conveyors, and heavy plants

• Promoting safety first and a continuous improvement culture

What We’re Looking For:

• Mechanical maintenance experience in heavy industry (concrete, quarrying, brick, steel, aggregates etc.)
• Strong welding skills (MIG/TIG/arc – any solid background)
• Working knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, conveyors
• Confidence to work independently and take initiative
• A safety-conscious, hands-on attitude

Employment Benefits:

• Negotiable hourly rate up to £20 per hour depending on experience
• Weekly production bonus (this typically ranges between £100 – £200 per week depending on plant performance)
• Overtime paid at time and one half over 40 hours per week and Saturdays. Overtime paid at double time on Sundays and Bank Holidays
• Monday to Thursday standard working week
• Loyalty bonus after 3 years
• £500 ‘refer a friend’ scheme
