- Lead cross-functional improvement initiatives with Production and Engineering to optimise plant performance
- Establish and sustain a proactive, improvement-led maintenance culture across the site
- Ensure full compliance with safety, quality and engineering standards at all times
About You
We are seeking an experienced engineering or maintenance leader who thrives in complex manufacturing environments and is motivated by driving real operational change.
You will bring:
- Proven experience leading maintenance or engineering teams in a manufacturing or industrial environment
- Strong background in implementing preventative and reliability-focused maintenance strategies
- A track record of improving equipment performance, uptime and plant stability
- Excellent understanding of maintenance KPIs, data analysis and performance improvement
- Strong leadership capability with experience developing and engaging technical teams
- Commercial awareness with the ability to manage budgets and engineering resources effectively
- Confidence operating at senior level and influencing across production, engineering and operations
- A practical, hands-on engineering mindset combined with strategic thinking
Experience within precision engineering, machine tools, automotive, aerospace or other high-spec manufacturing environments would be highly advantageous.
The Opportunity
This is a high-impact leadership role within a globally respected engineering organisation, offering the opportunity to shape maintenance strategy at a site that values quality, precision and continuous improvement.
You can expect:
- Competitive executive-level salary package
- 8% employer pension contribution
- Private healthcare
- Life assurance (death in service)
- Full sick pay
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays
- Subsidised restaurant
- Free on-site parking
