Job description
Our Maintenance Engineers get the rewards their expertise deserves
We're now hiring for 4 on 4 off shifts on a mix of days and nights which attracts an average OTE of £55,000-£60,000 *inclusive of typical overtime and shift premiums.
JCB has been a global front-runner in mechanical technology for more than 70 years—and with our new hydrogen-powered machines, we’re still pushing the boundaries. It means that, even though the way we work might be changing, wherever there’s work to be done, you’ll always find our machines. We’re still family run and, because we’re always innovating in new areas, we’re looking towards a bright future. Right now, we’re hiring Maintenance engineers who will help it run smoothly.
A crucial role
Working with a range of seriously impressive technology, you’ll problem solve, troubleshoot and drive improvement within our manufacturing function. We’ve just invested £4 million on new robots and fibreoptic lasers, which you’ll keep in working order, along with other specialised machinery. So specialised, in fact, that you’ll get to visit other countries where your skills are required. Call it one of the perks of working for a global organisation.
Another is JCB’s commitment to developing talent internally. Join us at Maintenance Engineer level and, by taking advantage of the training and development opportunities available to you here, it won’t be long until you’re moving up into more senior roles. At a company as large and diverse as ours, there’s no telling where you could end up—in a different department, in management or even a different country. With possibilities like that, no wonder so many of our team members have worked with us for more than ten years.
For those who strive for better
You might come to us from an Electrical or a Mechanical Maintenance background—it takes Maintenance engineers of both kinds to keep us working to world-leading standards. Whatever your background, you’ll need to have completed an Electrical or Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship and be HNC qualified or have equivalent experience in live maintenance environments. You’ll take your learning to the next level, so plenty of enthusiasm is a must—we want people who can’t wait to get their hands on our new kit.
That passion for finding out how things work and how to improve them is what drives our culture at JCB. Having it is as important as qualifications. Of course, you need to know the basics—but learning more each day is what makes JCB an exciting place to work. So, if you’ve got an idea of where you want to be in your career and plenty of drive, we’ll support you every step of the way in achieving it. Need a bit of flexibility to help you along the way? No problem. You keep us running smoothly—we’ll help you achieve your goals.
With a company that gives you more
This is your chance to join a company that values expertise not only in rewards but also in real employee care. At JCB you don’t just get a competitive salary, 33 days’ holiday and access to our company pension—you can also use our onsite gym, in-house doctor and dentist and visiting optician. Pretty advantageous stuff these days. Then there’s the JCB Rewards Hub, which gives you discounts with a range of high street retailers. Feel like biking to work? There’s our Cycle To Work Scheme.
