About this role
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.
