Maintenance Team Leader

If you’re the kind of person who gets excited by perfectly colour-coded spreadsheets and endless "strategy meetings", this probably isn’t for you.

But if you’ve spent real time in the guts of a maintenance operation- wrench in one hand, plan in the other- you’ll get why this role matters.

This is a big site. 10+ acres of heavy kit, constant production, and not much room for error. You’ll be leading the team that keeps it all running- planning, fixing, upgrading, and making sure it doesn’t all go sideways when a pump decides to call it a day.

Salary: £59,000
Shifts: Regular Days

Here’s what we’re actually looking for:

• Someone who knows how to lead without shouting

• Can turn chaos into a planned shutdown

• Doesn’t flinch at KPIs, compliance, or audits

• Has the confidence to stand in for the Maintenance Manager

• And maybe most importantly- can spot a maintenance issue before it becomes a production disaster

You’ll be running a Planning team, a Machine Shop, and all the predictable (and unpredictable) stuff that comes with a fast-moving, mechanically intense operation. You’ll be shaping how maintenance is done- not just firefighting when things go wrong.

Yes, there’s training and development. Yes, there’s a strong team already in place. And yes, the site is backed by a global business with serious ambition.

You?

• HNC/HND in Mechanical Engineering or something similar

• Strong background in production or manufacturing (not just theory—real stuff)

• Comfortable dealing with complexity and pressure

• Proven leadership experience

• Someone who can influence, improve, and deliver

If you’re looking for a maintenance role where you can genuinely make a difference this one’s worth a look.
