Maintenance Engineer

Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer (Days Only)

£39,000 – £46,000 | 4 On / 4 Off | Clacton-on-Sea

Are you a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer looking for an outstanding work–life balance without compromising on salary or technical challenge?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established, asset-heavy industrial site offering a days-only 4 on / 4 off shift pattern — meaning no nights and half the year off. The site continues to invest in plant, equipment, and engineering standards, making this a strong long-term career move.

The Company

• Financially secure, long-established industrial operation

• High-usage, mechanically and electrically demanding environment

• Ongoing investment in machinery, automation, and infrastructure

• Strong safety culture with clear engineering standards

• Known for retaining engineers long-term

⚙️ The Role

As a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer, you will play a key role in maintaining uptime and reliability within a busy operational environment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Electrical and mechanical fault finding on industrial machinery

• Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) to maximise reliability

• Reactive breakdown response to minimise downtime

• Supporting continuous improvement and reliability projects

• Working closely with operations and fellow engineers

• Ensuring all work is completed to health & safety and engineering best practice

Shift Pattern (Major Selling Point)

• 4 on / 4 off

• Days only – no nights

• Excellent work–life balance

• Predictable, structured rota

Salary & Benefits

• £39,000 – £46,000 basic salary (depending on experience)

• Overtime available

• Company pension scheme

• Training and development support

• Long-term job security within a stable, well-invested site

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer

• Strong electrical and mechanical fault-finding skills

• Background in industrial, manufacturing, FMCG, or process-driven environments

• Relevant engineering qualification (NVQ Level 2/3, apprenticeship, or equivalent)

• Proactive, reliable, and team-focused approach

✅ Why This Role Stands Out

• Days only + 4 on / 4 off = exceptional work–life balance

• Competitive salary for a non-nights role

• Technically varied, hands-on engineering work

• Well-supported engineering team with proper resources

• Stable employer that values and invests in engineers
