Maintenance Technician

14 Days Old

Maintenance Technician | Horwich | Electrical Bias | £40k - £45k Looking for a maintenance role where the kit is modern, the problems are real, and you are trusted to fix them properly? This is a hands-on Maintenance Technician role at Astemos Bolton manufacturing site. Youll be supporting high-volume, PLC controlled production lines with a strong mix of electrical fault-finding, mechanical intervention, robotics, and continuous improvement. This is not a stand by the line and reset alarms job. Youll be expected to think, diagnose, and improve.
What the role actually involves Youll spend most of your time: Fault-finding on PLC controlled production equipment
Diagnosing breakdowns across electrical, mechanical, robotic and control systems
Carrying out preventative maintenance and planned interventions
Supporting improvements and modifications to existing lines
Getting involved in the installation and commissioning of new equipment
Working closely with production to keep output where it needs to be
The environment is fast-paced and automated. When something stops, youre expected to understand why, not just get it running again.
Ideally you'll probably be time-served with NVQ Level 3 / City & Guilds in Electrical Engineering (or similar). Your experience of maintaining PLC controlled equipment will definitely come in handy, along with any exposure to you've had to robotics. Other than that, a good mechanical understanding of pneumatics and hydraulics would be beneficial.
Salary, shifts and benefits Id anticipate the salary falling in the range of £40,000 - £45,000 (DOE). This will be based on a three-shift pattern (6am-2pm / 2pm-10pm / 10pm-6am, 38 hours per week) due to production ramping up in the last quarter. Weekday overtime is paid at single time, Saturdays at time and a half, and Sundays at double time. In addition, youll benefit from a solid overall package including enhanced pension contributions, 7.5% bonus, generous holiday allowance (25 days) and EV Salary Sacrifice option. They also look at incrementally increasing salaries year on year. Clearly it's not a guarantee but there's been a 5% increase agreed this year, for context.
