Blackburn | Up to £55,000 + Exceptional Benefits

Join a growing industry, work with cutting‑edge machinery, and enjoy a role where your expertise truly makes an impact.

 

Why You'll Love This Role

As part of a high‑performing engineering team, you'll be hands‑on with advanced 5‑axis machine tools, tackling technical challenges that keep your skills sharp and your workday varied. Plus, you'll benefit from a package that genuinely rewards your contribution:

The Role

We're looking for a site‑based Maintenance Engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and working with precision machinery. You'll be responsible for keeping high‑value CNC equipment running at peak performance by carrying out:

Key Responsibilities

  • Delivering all planned preventative maintenance (PPM) tasks.
  • Installing, servicing, and repairing 5‑axis machine tools.
  • Fault‑finding and diagnosing issues on CNC milling machines, delivering effective corrective solutions.
  • Interrogating PLC programs using Siemens S7.
  • Working autonomously while communicating effectively with the wider team.

 

This is a role where you'll own your work, take pride in solving problems, and be trusted to apply your engineering judgement.

  • A time‑served engineer or hold relevant engineering qualifications.
  • Confident and experienced in troubleshooting 5‑axis CNC milling machines independently.
  • Skilled in both verbal and written communication.
  • Familiar with Siemens 840D CNC control systems.
