Location: Hinckley

Pay Rate: £14.00 per hour

Contract: Ongoing Temporary

We are currently recruiting for a skilled and proactive Maintenance Technician to join a well-established automotive manufacturer. This is an ongoing temporary position offering stable hours and the opportunity to work across a wide range of specialist machinery and equipment.

The Role

This is a varied, hands-on maintenance position where no two days are the same. You will play a key role in keeping production running smoothly by carrying out both reactive and planned maintenance across the site.

While this role has a strong electrical bias (ideally suited to someone who has trained as an electrician), you will also be expected to assist with mechanical repairs and general site maintenance tasks.

Key Responsibilities

• Electrical fault finding, repair and installation work

• Maintenance and repair of production machinery including presses, CNC machines, sewing machinery and upholstery equipment

• Mechanical maintenance and troubleshooting

• General site maintenance including plumbing and basic carpentry tasks

• Supporting planned preventative maintenance schedules

• Working closely with the site team to resolve breakdowns efficiently

• Contributing ideas for continuous improvement

• Working independently when required and taking ownership of tasks

About You

• Electrical background essential - ideally apprenticeship-trained electrician

• Experience in manufacturing or industrial maintenance preferred

• Comfortable working on a variety of machinery and mechanical systems

• Willing to turn your hand to general maintenance tasks beyond your core trade

• Proactive, practical and solution-focused

• Able to work both independently and as part of a small team

• Good communication skills and a collaborative approach

What's on Offer

• £14.00 per hour

• Ongoing temporary contract

• Early finish every Friday

• Opportunity to work within a diverse and dynamic manufacturing environment

• Exposure to both automotive and aerospace production equipment

If you're a hands-on maintenance professional with strong electrical skills and a flexible, team-focused approach, we'd love to hear from you.
