Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer (Days Only)

£39,000 – £46,000 | 4 On / 4 Off | Clacton-on-Sea

Are you a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer looking for an outstanding work–life balance without compromising on salary or technical challenge?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established, asset-heavy industrial site offering a days-only 4 on / 4 off shift pattern — meaning no nights and half the year off. The site continues to invest in plant, equipment, and engineering standards, making this a strong long-term career move.

The Company

• Financially secure, long-established industrial operation
• High-usage, mechanically and electrically demanding environment
• Ongoing investment in machinery, automation, and infrastructure
• Strong safety culture with clear engineering standards
• Known for retaining engineers long-term

?? The Role

As a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer, you will play a key role in maintaining uptime and reliability within a busy operational environment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Electrical and mechanical fault finding on industrial machinery
• Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) to maximise reliability
• Reactive breakdown response to minimise downtime
• Supporting continuous improvement and reliability projects
• Working closely with operations and fellow engineers
• Ensuring all work is completed to health & safety and engineering best practice

Shift Pattern (Major Selling Point)

• 4 on / 4 off
• Days only – no nights
• Excellent work–life balance
• Predictable, structured rota

Salary & Benefits

• £39,000 – £46,000 basic salary (depending on experience)
• Overtime available
• Company pension scheme
• Training and development support
• Long-term job security within a stable, well-invested site

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer
• Strong electrical and mechanical fault-finding skills
• Background in industrial, manufacturing, FMCG, or process-driven environments
• Relevant engineering qualification (NVQ Level 2/3, apprenticeship, or equivalent)
• Proactive, reliable, and team-focused approach

? Why This Role Stands Out

• Days only + 4 on / 4 off = exceptional work–life balance
• Competitive salary for a non-nights role
• Technically varied, hands-on engineering work
• Well-supported engineering team with proper resources
• Stable employer that values and invests in engineers
