Futures are working with a well-known and long-established manufacturing organisation to recruit an experienced Maintenance Manager to lead engineering operations. This is a hands-on leadership role, ideal for a Maintenance Manager or Senior Engineer ready to take ownership of a small but skilled engineering team while driving improvements across an ageing manufacturing facility.

As Maintenance Manager, you will be the technical authority on site — the go-to person for all mechanical and electrical matters. You will manage a small team of engineers, balancing hands-on fault finding with strategic and people leadership responsibilities.

A key part of the role will be introducing new maintenance strategies, improving reliability, and gradually moving the operation towards a more planned and proactive approach.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead, manage, and develop a team of multi-skilled engineers Act as the technical escalation point for complex mechanical and electrical issues Maintain and repair mechanical and hydraulic presses and other legacy manufacturing equipment Balance hands-on maintenance work with planning, scheduling, and team management Introduce and implement PPM strategies and improve maintenance processes Work closely with production to minimise downtime and improve asset reliability Us...
