Description: Electrically biased but multi skilled maintenance electrician required to undertake both PPM and reactive breakdown maintenance and repair work on a range of automated electroplating and injection moulding machinery.
Salary: to c£35k + overtime + callout allowance + generous benefit
Our client originated more than half a century ago and are recognised as a market leader in the niche electroplating on plastics sector for supply to a diverse range of clients and industry sectors throughout the UK.
As a result of continued success and an ongoing programme of strategic growth, they are now seeking to recruit an experienced and enthusiastic multi skilled general maintenance electrician to complement their established and highly professional team.
Based near Birmingham, the successful candidate will be tasked with performing both planned preventative and reactive breakdown maintenance work on a range of fully automated plating plant and equipment within a busy injection moulding facility, and will include motors, contactors, wheels, shafts, pipework and cabling replacement and repair on a regular basis.
With the injection moulding facility currently having 5 machines ranging from 55t to 500t as well as a multitude of additional site repairs needing attention on a daily basis, the role is electrically biased but ideally suited to a suitably experienced electrician with a general maintenance background.
To be considered for this varied and challenging role, it is envisaged that the successful candidate will demonstrate skills and experience in the following key areas:
• Reactive and Planned Preventative Maintenance across all Production Machinery
• Multi skilled maintenance
• Working with Hydraulic & Pneumatic Driven Systems
• Fault finding on PLC’s
• Electrical wiring & installation
• Mechanical strip downs & rebuilds on machinery
The maintenance team work days 8am-4.30pm each day and the successful candidate would be expected to be available for call out (additional £40 plus overtime) during out of hours as the site runs 24 hours 5 days, with additional weekend work occasionally required to undertake PPM work and repairs where the plant cannot be stopped during the day, with additional benefits available as appropriate.
