Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer – Plastics, Robotics & Automation
Location: Bradford / Leeds

Salary: £46,000 – £51,000 DOE

A leading manufacturer in the plastics and packaging sector are looking for a Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer to support its fast-paced, highly automated site. With continued investment in robotics, injection moulding machinery, and high-speed packaging lines, they are looking for someone from an equally demanding and technical environment — such as automotive, robotics, or injection moulding.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Perform planned and reactive maintenance on robotics, high-speed packaging equipment, and injection moulding machines

  • Diagnose and repair faults across PLC-controlled systems, conveyors, pick-and-place units, servo drives, sensors, and pneumatic circuits

  • Maintain and optimise automation and robotic systems (e.g. Fanuc, ABB, KUKA)

  • Contribute to ongoing machine upgrades, CI projects, and root cause analysis

  • Work closely with production and engineering teams to reduce downtime and maintain high output

    Your Background:

  • Level 3 qualified (or above) in Electrical, Mechanical or Mechatronic Engineering

  • Strong experience in plastics manufacturing, injection moulding, automotive production, or robotics-integrated environments

  • Confident with electrical fault finding, interpreting schematics, and troubleshooting PLC inputs/outputs

  • Knowledge of robotic handling systems, safety circuits, and modern control systems

  • Comfortable working independently or as part of a proactive maintenance team

    Why Apply?

  • Secure, growing manufacturer investing in the latest tech

  • Exposure to a range of automation and robotics systems

  • Structured progression and skill development opportunities

  • Competitive salary and supportive team culture

    If you're a multi-skilled engineer with a background in plastics, automotive, or robotic manufacturing, this is a great opportunity to apply your expertise in a modern, technology-led production environment.
