Circa -43,000 + Overtime + Benefits
Mon to Fri Days | 5:00am - 2:00pm | No Nights

Looking for a maintenance role without 12-hour shifts or nights?

We''re recruiting a Maintenance Engineer for a large, established manufacturing site in the Launceston area, offering an attractive days-based shift pattern alongside plenty of hands-on engineering work.

Working 5:00am - 2:00pm, you''ll finish early enough to have your afternoons and evenings back, with no night shifts. There is also a 1 in 4 week call-out rota where you will be paid overtime at enhanced rates for any callouts.

This is a busy production environment where engineering plays a critical role in keeping the site running. You''ll get involved in breakdowns, fault-finding, planned maintenance, machinery repairs and improvement work across a varied range of production equipment.

• Electrical and mechanical fault-finding across production and processing machinery

• Responding to breakdowns and getting equipment safely back into production

• Planned and preventative maintenance

• Fault-finding on motors, sensors, contactors, relays, drives and electrical control systems

• Mechanical repairs including bearings, belts, chains, sprockets, gearboxes, pumps and seals

• Fault-finding and repairs across pneumatic and hydraulic systems

• Supporting machinery modifications, installations and improvement projects

• Identifying recurring faults and helping improve equipment reliability

• Participating in a 1 in 4 call-out rota

We''re open on industry background and would be interested in engineers from manufacturing, food/FMCG, packaging, automotive, aerospace, heavy industry, marine or Armed Forces backgrounds.

Ideally, you''ll be apprentice-trained or hold a recognised Level 3 engineering qualification, with good hands-on maintenance and fault-finding experience.

You don''t need to be a perfect 50/50 multi-skilled engineer. Electrically or mechanically biased engineers will be considered, providing you''re comfortable carrying out maintenance across both disciplines.

• Circa -43,000 per annum

• Overtime opportunities

• Days-based 5:00am - 2:00pm hours

• No night shifts

• 1 in 4 call-out rota

• Early finishes giving you your afternoons and evenings back

• Permanent position with a large, established manufacturing business

• Varied machinery and genuine hands-on engineering work
