Develop Your Team. Make a Real Impact. Are you an experienced Engineering Team Leader, Maintenance Team Leader or Senior Maintenance Engineer looking for an opportunity to take your career to the next level? RecruitME is working on behalf of our client to recruit a talented and hands-on Engineering Lead to join their engineering operation within a busy, fast-paced production environment. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established business where engineering plays a vital role in keeping operations running smoothly. You'll have the chance to lead a skilled team, influence improvements and make a genuine difference to equipment reliability, production performance and engineering standards. If you're the type of engineer who enjoys being hands-on, solving problems and getting the best out of people, this could be exactly the opportunity you've been looking for. What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out? Real responsibility: Take ownership of day-to-day engineering performance and help shape how maintenance is delivered. Lead from the front: Combine your technical expertise with the opportunity to coach, support and develop your engineering team. Make an impact: Drive improvements that reduce downtime, improve reliability and keep production moving. Varied engineering challenges: Get involved in fault-finding, preventative maintenance, engineering projects and continuous improvement. Structured shift pattern: Enjoy regular weekdays off as part of a rotating working schedule. Career development: Build on your existing leadership experience while developing your technical and management capabilities. Your Role As Engineering Lead, you'll be the driving force behind the day-to-day performance of the engineering team. You'll work closely with production and operations, ensuring equipment is maintained effectively, breakdowns are resolved efficiently and planned maintenance is delivered to a high standard. Your responsibilities will include: Leading, motivating and developing a team of maintenance engineers. Taking ownership of planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive maintenance activities. Providing hands-on support with electrical and mechanical fault-finding. Identifying and implementing improvements to machinery reliability and performance. Reducing downtime and supporting production efficiency. Getting involved in engineering projects, equipment upgrades and installations. Working alongside production teams to prioritise maintenance activities. Coaching and mentoring engineers to develop their skills and confidence. Coordinating contractors and ensuring engineering work is completed safely. Promoting a positive safety culture and maintaining engineering standards. What You'll Bring We're looking for a practical, approachable engineering professional who can combine strong technical ability with confident leadership. You'll ideally have: Experience as an Engineering Team Leader, Maintenance Team Leader, Engineering Supervisor or a Senior Maintenance Engineer with leadership responsibilities. A Level 3 qualification in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering. Strong electrical and/or mechanical maintenance experience. Good fault-finding and problem-solving skills. Experience within a manufacturing, production or industrial environment. A solid understanding of preventative maintenance and equipment reliability. The confidence to lead, support and develop other engineers. A proactive mindset and a genuine interest in continuous improvement. Most importantly, you'll be someone who leads by example, takes pride in doing things properly and enjoys being part of a team that gets results. Working Hours Our client offers a structured 3-week rotating shift pattern, giving you regular days off during the working week. Four working days per week, with a rotating rest day on Monday, Wednesday or Friday. Core hours: 6:30am – 5:30pm. One weekend in four, working Saturday and Sunday. Weekend hours: 7:00am – 3:30pm. Ready for Your Next Engineering Challenge? Whether you're an established Engineering Team Leader looking for a fresh challenge or an experienced Senior Maintenance Engineer ready to build on your leadership experience, this is an opportunity worth exploring. You'll be joining a business that relies on strong engineering leadership, where your technical knowledge, ideas and ability to develop people can make a real difference. Interested?
