We're recruiting two Continental Shift Engineers for an established manufacturing business in Birmingham. This is a hands-on, multi-skilled role supporting production equipment, plant services and site improvement projects.

You'll work two 12-hour days (6am-6pm), followed by two 12-hour nights (6pm-6am), then four days off.

The role

- Diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical faults to keep equipment running safely and reliably.
- Carry out planned and reactive maintenance on production equipment and plant services.
- Work with heavy motorised and hydraulic plant, steam generation, boilers and high-pressure fluid systems.
- Identify recurring faults and deliver improvements that reduce downtime, energy use and waste.
- Support installations, statutory inspections and factory start-up and shutdown activities.
- Complete permits, risk assessments, CMMS work orders and clear shift handovers.
- Coordinate contractors where required and help maintain critical spares.

What we're looking for

You'll need practical mechanical and electrical maintenance experience, including a systematic approach to fault finding. Experience with heavy motorised and hydraulic plant, steam generation or boiler house operations, and high-pressure fluid systems is required.
A recognised engineering apprenticeship or BTEC qualification would be beneficial, as would the ability to read electrical or fluid control diagrams and experience using a CMMS.
