Summary

Maintenance Team Lead | 4-on, 4-off

Location: Boston, Lincolnshire

Salary: £54,600 + Benefits

Shift: 4-on, 4-off (Rotating Days & Nights)

Are you a Senior Engineer or Current Team Lead looking to step into a high-impact role with a market-leading manufacturer?

We are looking for a Maintenance Team Lead to head up a skilled engineering squad just outside of Boston. This isn't just a "desk job" - you will be the technical heartbeat of the shift, driving performance, mentoring engineers, and ensuring the site hits its production targets safely and efficiently.

The Role

As the Team Lead, you will bridge the gap between senior management and the shop floor. You'll be responsible for:

  • Leadership: Managing a team of multi-skilled engineers, including performance reviews and shift handovers.

  • Technical Escalation: Acting as the "lead hand" for complex mechanical or electrical breakdowns.

  • PPM Management: Coordinating planned maintenance windows to ensure zero impact on production.

  • Safety & Standards: Driving a culture of "Safety First" and maintaining high engineering standards across the site.

What You'll Need

To be successful in this role, you must possess:

  • Qualifications: A minimum of a Level 3 Engineering Qualification (BTEC, NVQ, or City & Guilds).

  • Experience: Proven supervisory or leadership experience within a manufacturing or industrial environment.

  • Resilience: The ability to make quick, effective decisions under pressure during a breakdown.

  • Flexibility: Comfortable working a rotating days and nights shift pattern.

Why Join Us?

  • Competitive Pay: A strong base salary of £54,600.

  • Authority: The autonomy to lead your team and implement improvements.

  • Stability: Join a secure manufacturing firm with a long-term roadmap for growth.

  • Local Impact: A key role within one of the region's major employers.
