Competitive hourly rate (depending on experience & qualifications)
39 hours per week – Day shift with early Friday finish
Quarterly bonus scheme + strong benefits package

Are you a hands-on Maintenance Engineer with a strong electrical background and a knack for solving real engineering problems?

We’re recruiting on behalf of a long-established industrial engineering business based in Crewkerne, Somerset. They’re known for their custom, low-volume production for global clients and are now seeking a skilled Electrical Maintenance Engineer to join their team.

This is a 70/30 electrical/mechanical role — ideal for someone who’s confident working with electrical systems but can also turn their hand to mechanical work when needed.

The environment is hot, loud, and industrial — but if you enjoy working on a variety of complex machinery, not production lines, and making a difference on the shop floor, this could be the role for you.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Reactive and preventative maintenance across a variety of plant and machinery
• Electrical fault finding, testing, installation, and repair — including lighting, alarm systems, wiring, and control panels
• Supporting mechanical maintenance: hydraulics, pneumatics, conveyors, and production equipment
• Reading and interpreting electrical and mechanical diagrams, manuals, and specs
• Diagnosing faults quickly to reduce downtime and support production
• Performing inspections, keeping maintenance logs, and complying with safety standards

What We’re Looking For:

• At least 3 years’ experience in a maintenance role within a manufacturing or industrial setting
• Proven electrical expertise – ideally with 18th Edition and NVQ Level 3 or equivalent
• Mechanical competence and willingness to assist with non-electrical tasks when needed
• Experience with preventative and corrective maintenance routines
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings
• Strong problem-solving skills, good communication, and a proactive attitude
• HNC/HND or multi-skilled background would be a bonus

What’s On Offer:

• Competitive hourly pay based on skills and experience
• Quarterly bonus scheme
• Day shift hours (early finish every Friday)
• Company pension + sick pay (after qualifying period)
• Free on-site parking
• Health & wellbeing programme
• A long-term role in a business with a century of history and a modern approach to people and performance

Work authorisation:
You must have the right to work in the UK.
