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.
