Maintenance and Service Manager

Description

The Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Maintenance & Services Manager to join a busy manufacturing environment.

The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring the reliability, performance and efficiency of plant machinery and production equipment, combining hands-on electro-mechanical maintenance with proactive fault finding, planned maintenance and engineering improvements.

This is a hands-on role suited to an experienced Maintenance Engineer or Maintenance Manager with a strong background in a high-volume manufacturing, production or industrial environment.

Key Responsibilities

Carry out both reactive and planned preventative maintenance on production machinery and plant equipment. Diagnose and repair complex electrical and mechanical faults to minimise production downtime. Fault-find on PLC-controlled systems, including Siemens and Allen-Bradley. Diagnose faults involving motor control circuits, VSDs, contactors, sensors and three-phase power systems. Maintain and repair mechanical systems including gearboxes, chains, belts, conveyors, pumps, pneumatics and hydraulics. Read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, technical drawings and maintenance manuals. Identify and implement engineering modifications and improvements to enhance machinery performance, reliability and efficiency. Work closely with production teams and management to coordinate maintenance activities and planned work. Ensure all maintenance activities are carried out safely and in accordance with relevant procedures. The Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will have significant hands-on experience within a manufacturing, production or industrial environment, ideally working with continuous-running plant and machinery.
