Premier Recruitment Group has the privilege to recruit on behalf of our very prestigious client based in Woolwich,South East London.We are recruiting for experienced and forward thinking Maintenance Technician. This is full time and permanent position and working for very well established company. Very interesting and varied role with a scope for progression.

Hours: 08.00-16.00 M-F but with the possibility of out of hours work as the jobs dictate.

Job scope:

Working across the business but reporting to the Maintenance Engineer and Distillation Manager in a fast-paced food manufacturing facility within a respected, family-ethos business where your contribution will have real impact from day one.

This position offers more than just an Maintenance Technician’s role; it is an opportunity to build a career within the industry, develop industry relationships, and grow professionally within a supportive environment earned us a reputation as a key partner for clients worldwide.

Given the nature and range of the equipment that our client uses (i.e. vacuum pumps, glassware under vacuum, motors, seals, steel pipework up to 4 inches and steam, vacuum and water pipes) and the age profile of some assets, the key requirement would be a strong, versatile, pragmatic and knowledge base, rather than a fully specialised mechanical technician from day one. We are looking for:

• Solid hands-on experience with pipework, especially stainless steel, carbon steel and copper, including installation, repair, and modification
• A basic understanding of electrical isolators, switches, and fault-finding at a practical level
• Familiarity with low-pressure pneumatic systems, including valves and actuators

With this foundation, the individual could then be developed internally to build more specialised skills specific to the plant. This would include working with glass pipework and glass components but can be learned on site with existing Maintenance Engineer.

This approach would allow us to bring in someone with the right technical base while ensuring knowledge transfer from and building long-term the maintenance function.

We have to stress the need for a broad maintenance background, the need to be able to plan, order and justify spends on materials and equipment etc. We would expect the successful candidate to have strong IT skills and understand the need for working within the food industry strict protocols and standards l – BRC, HACCP. This means only food grade materials can be used, strict PPE adherence and post maintenance sign off and sanitation.
