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 Engineerrole 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.

Id anticipate the salary falling in the region of ÂŁ45,000. 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.

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.

About the Company

Astemo designs and manufactures advanced mobility solutions across electrification, autonomous driving and connectivity. The Bolton site forms part of a wider international group and is entering a significant growth phase, supporting major OEM programmes.

The culture here is the real reason that people tend to stick around. They’ve been recently externally accredited as a “Great Place to Work” and have given every manager in the business Mental Health First Aid training as part of their commitment to promoting wellbeing among their people.
