Job Description
Workshop Technician / Mechanical Engineer
Location: Burnley
Salary: £36,000
Hours: Full-time
If you’d rather be building, fixing and improving machinery than staring at the same production line every day, this one is worth a look.
We’re looking for an experienced Workshop Technician / Mechanical Engineer to join a specialist engineering team in Burnley, building and maintaining highly automated equipment used within the pipeline and coatings industry.
This is proper hands-on engineering.
You’ll be involved in:
* Mechanical fitting and complete machine builds
* Hydraulics and pneumatics
* Fault finding and refurbishment
* Hydraulic pipework installation
* Testing and commissioning
* Design upgrades and engineering improvements
* Fabrication and welding
* Preventative maintenance
* Reading technical drawings and specifications
* General machining and component modification
You may occasionally support installation or refurbishment work at other UK or overseas locations.
What We’re Looking For
Ideally, you’ll bring:
* Around 5 years’ mechanical engineering experience
* Strong fitting and machine-build experience
* Hydraulic and pneumatic knowledge
* Fabrication and welding experience
* Fault diagnosis and maintenance experience
* General machining skills
* Ability to read engineering drawings
* Basic electrical understanding
* Experience working alongside Design Engineers
You’ll need to be practical, mechanically minded, safety-conscious and happy working independently or as part of a wider engineering team.
Most importantly, we want someone who gets genuine satisfaction from standing back at the end of a build and thinking:
“Yep. I built that.”
