Maintenance Engineer | Contract directly with Employer (117872002)

This is not your average production environment. The organisation you'll be joining is a global frontrunner in identity security — think biometric passports, secure payment cards, facial recognition at international airports, and cryptographic systems used by governments and banks worldwide.

As Maintenance Engineer, you are the backbone of a smooth-running production floor. When machines go down, you're the one who gets things moving again — but more importantly, you make sure they don't go down in the first place. You combine hands-on technical skill with a structured mindset: you don't just fix problems, you prevent them.

What you'll be doing

• Keeping production equipment in top condition and reducing unplanned downtime;
• Building and executing preventive maintenance schedules;
• Digging into the root cause of breakdowns — not just patching things up;
• Translating technical findings into clear documentation and practical improvement plans;
• Supporting the roll-out and commissioning of new equipment;
• Working with software controls for production machinery;
• Collaborating with production, management, and other departments on both day-to-day operations and longer-term reliability improvements;
• Monitoring facility and utility systems to ensure a safe working environment.
• An MBO level 4 background in Electrical or Manufacturing Engineering (or equivalent experience);
• A proven track record in a maintenance role within a production environment;
• Good command of English, spoken and written;
• Flexibility to work in shifts and join an on-call rotation;
• Willingness to occasionally travel for training or visits to other sites;
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative attitude.
