Lead Engineer - Maintenance Excellence / Continuous Improvement
£55,000
4 on 4 off (Days, 07:00-19:00) This is a Lead Engineer role for someone who is done with simply keeping things running and is ready to start improving how they run in the first place. You’ll be leading maintenance excellence and continuous improvement activity in a fast-paced production environment, focusing on reliability, performance and long-term asset health rather than short-term firefighting.
Breakdowns still happen. The goal here is making them happen less, and for better reasons each time. What you’ll be doing Leading the rollout and embedding of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) principles
Improving equipment reliability through structured maintenance strategies
Developing and strengthening planned preventative maintenance (PPM) systems
Using CMMS data to improve planning, performance and maintenance execution
Driving continuous improvement across equipment, processes and production losses
Leading structured problem solving including RCA, 5Y and DMAIC
Identifying and eliminating repeat failures and chronic downtime issues
Supporting OEE improvement through data-led decision making
Developing SOPs and standardised maintenance practices
Supporting smart factory / reliability system implementation
Running criticality reviews and maintenance strategy improvements

Strong background in root cause analysis and structured problem solving
Comfortable working with production and maintenance performance data (OEE)
Experience leading and developing engineering teams
Strong communication and coaching skills
Structured, methodical approach with strong attention to detail
The reality of the role
This is not a reactive maintenance position dressed up with a fancy title. It suits someone who looks at repeat failures and immediately starts asking why nobody fixed the cause properly the first time. You’ll need to be comfortable moving between strategy, data and shop floor reality without losing credibility in any of them. If you want predictable days and simple task lists, this will feel frustrating. If you want to actually improve how a site performs, it’s exactly the kind of frustration you’re looking for

Contract: Full-time, permanent. Hours: Monday to Friday. You won’t be covering dozens of sites. You’ll be responsible for a handful that actually rely on you. If you’ve worked in school IT, you’ll know how it usually goes. Too many sites, constant reactive work, and no time to fix things properly. This role is set up differently. You’ll support around 8 to 9 schools across Hull. The same sites, the same people, and the chance to get on top of things instead of chasing tickets all day. The role: This is a field-based position, with most of your time spent on-site in schools. You’ll become a familiar face. Staff will know you, trust you, and come to you when they need support. It’s as much about how you work with people as it is your technical ability. You’ll also have the backing of a service desk, so you’re not dealing with everything on your own. What you’ll be doing: Providing on-site IT support across primary and secondary schools. Troubleshooting devices, networks and classroom technology.

You’ll work with the same schools consistently, giving you more control, better relationships, and the chance to do the job properly. You’ll also be joining a specialist provider that understands schools and has built its support model around them. What you get: £28,000 to £32,000 basic salary. £3,000 car allowance. £31,000 to £35,000 total package. Mileage and expenses covered. 24 days holiday plus bank holidays. Your birthday off.
