We're a fast growing  manufacturer of premium packaging  solutions to the retail, industrial and e-commerce sectors. You'll be our 'go to' electrically biased Maintenance Engineer / Mechanical Engineer, for our growing Exeter site (we have a sister site in Durham).  
 
Although, the site has been operational for nearly 40 years, we regularly invest in new machinery and our plant is a mix of traditional and ultra-modern equipment.  
 
You'll be working on a wide variety of equipment responsible for everything from:
· Mechanical and Electrical fault finding, including PLC troubleshooting.
· Creating PPM schedules.
· Providing reactive maintenance and new equipment installation.
 
It's your chance to roll you sleeves up and make the role your own, to put in place all the maintenance programmes, to improve housekeeping practices as we grow and to ensure all of our machinery is operating smoothly and efficiently.
 
We operate flexible working hours for this role.  We'd like you on site between 07:15-16:00 Mon-Thurs, with a 12:15 finish on a Friday, but if you'd prefer to start earlier and finish earlier, it's not a problem, as long as everything is working when you go!

· The capacity to work independently, to trouble shoot and stay calm under pressure.
· To work with others, especially those with some or no technical understanding, in order to get a job completed
