Role Purpose

The Maintenance Team Leader (CEandamp;I) will provide hands-on, discipline-biased leadership across all maintenance, repair, installation, commissioning, calibration, inspection and improvement activities for process plant and associated systems.

This is a visible, people-focused leadership role within a well-established and experienced maintenance team. The postholder will act as the work centre owner for CEandamp;I, lead senior technicians, and play a key role in maintenance planning, execution and continuous improvement, whilst maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality and compliance in a highly regulated environment.

The role offers long-term stability, significant investment in assets and people, and the opportunity to shape capability through training and development.

• Working pattern: 6 days per week
• Expected periods: April-May and September-November

- andnbsp; andnbsp;Major investment in training and development, including support for formal degree-level qualifications
- andnbsp; andnbsp;Strong focus on long-term workforce capability, not short-term fixes

Key Responsibilities

Leadership andamp; People Development

- andnbsp; andnbsp;Lead, coach and support Senior Technicians and CEandamp;I Technicians to deliver safe, high-quality maintenance outcomes
- andnbsp; andnbsp;Be present, visible and available for the team - providing support without micromanaging

- andnbsp; andnbsp;Create a high-trust, high-engagement team culture

Maintenance Execution andamp; Planning

- andnbsp; andnbsp;Coordinate and deliver planned maintenance in line with weekly and daily schedules
- andnbsp; andnbsp;Act as a key contributor to maintenance planning and scheduling meetings
- andnbsp; andnbsp;Deputise for the Maintenance Execution Manager when required
- andnbsp; andnbsp;Support turnaround and outage delivery

Safety, Compliance andamp; Plant Integrity

- andnbsp; andnbsp;Maintain full compliance with regulatory and licence conditions

Reliability andamp; Continuous Improvement

- andnbsp; andnbsp;Contribute to preventative, predictive and proactive maintenance strategies
- andnbsp; andnbsp;Drive continuous improvement in plant reliability, availability and cost efficiency

Who We're Looking For

You'll be someone who:

- andnbsp; andnbsp;Brings credibility with technicians through practical experience
- andnbsp; andnbsp;Is a strong, clear communicator who engages people at all levels
- andnbsp; andnbsp;Is visible, supportive and approachable - not a micromanager

- andnbsp; andnbsp;Strong knowledge of safe systems of work and risk-based maintenance

Desirable

- andnbsp; andnbsp;Degree in a relevant engineering discipline
- andnbsp; andnbsp;IOSH, NEBOSH or similar safety qualification

Why This Role Stands Out

- andnbsp; andnbsp;Long-term stability and established, experienced team
- andnbsp; andnbsp;Major capital investment and modernisation programme
