About the role

This isn’t a typical maintenance role. You’ll be working across a live manufacturing environment, keeping equipment running day to day, while also getting involved in process improvement and new equipment development. There’s a key focus on a major product area (IOL, intraocular lenses), so you’ll be close to process development work as well as supporting production. It’s a good mix of hands-on engineering and problem solving. Manufacturing Maintenance Engineer Saffron Walden £50,000 to £55,000 + Benefits Full-time permanent role, 37.5 hours per week Responsibilities: · Maintaining and supporting production equipment across both electrical and mechanical systems. · Fault finding on PLC-controlled systems, ideally Siemens or similar. · Supporting process improvements and efficiency projects. · Assisting with new equipment design, build and integration. · Working closely with production and operations teams. · Getting hands-on with fabrication where needed, including basic machining and modifications. Requirements: · A strong electro-mechanical background · Experience within a manufacturing or production environment · PLC fault finding with the ability to make minor edits or changes · A practical mindset with the ability to diagnose and resolve issues quickly · Someone comfortable balancing reactive maintenance with improvement work Why it’s worth a look · This isn’t just a maintenance role, you’ll have real involvement in improving processes and equipment. · You’ll be close to product development work, not just fixing breakdowns. · The environment allows for ownership and input, rather than being a small part of a large team. · Exposure to specialist manufacturing within a medical and optical space.
