Have you built up your mechanical know-how and diagnostic prowess as a Weapons Mechanic, Aircraft Technician, Tank Engineer, Marine Engineer, or in another mechanical support role?

Your next engineering mission is ready and waiting.

This is your opportunity to step into a hands-on Mechanical Engineering Technician role at a global manufacturing site where your military mindset, precision, and practical skillset will be highly valued — and rewarded.

Role Duties & Responsibilities - Mechanical Engineering Technician

  • Join a modern, automated factory environment and use your mechanical engineering experience to:
  • Maintain, service, and repair a range of production machinery – including motors, gearboxes, high-speed packaging lines, and conveyors
  • Conduct proactive and reactive mechanical fault finding
  • Lead planned and preventative maintenance activities
  • Drive equipment performance improvements in a world-class engineering setup
  • Bring a calm, focused, solutions-driven approach to a fast-paced environment

What We’re Looking For: Mechanical Engineering Technician

  • We value military-trained engineers who’ve been tested in high-pressure environments. Ideally, you’ll have:
  • NVQ Level 3 / ONC / C&G in Mechanical Engineering (or Armed Forces trade equivalent: REME, RAF, or Royal Navy training)
  • Strong fault-finding and mechanical repair skills
  • Experience with pneumatics and fast-moving machinery (advantageous but not essential)
  • A proactive, team-focused attitude with a hunger to learn and grow

What’s in It for you? Mechanical Engineering Technician

  • A secure, permanent role within a global, forward-thinking manufacturer
  • Up to £46,500 salary + excellent pension and benefits
  • Access to world-class training and future career pathways in automation, engineering leadership, or reliability
  • A structured shift pattern promoting work/life balance
  • Additional benefits: subsidised canteen, cycle-to-work scheme, flexible perks

From the Frontline to the Factory Floor

Many of our top-performing engineers have come directly from the military — and now thrive in fast-paced, modern manufacturing environments. If you’re disciplined, mechanically minded, and ready for a new challenge, this is your perfect next step.
