The posting

Location: Limerick, Ireland Job Type: Permanent Shift Pattern: 4-Cycle Shift Industry: Manufacturing / Engineering

Job Overview

Pale Blue Dot® Recruitment is currently recruiting a Maintenance Technician on behalf of our client, an established manufacturing company based in Limerick.

This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified Mechanical Automation and Maintenance Fitter, or an individual with an equivalent technical qualification, to join a busy and progressive manufacturing environment.

Working as part of a 4-cycle shift team, the successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting and optimising production machinery and associated equipment to ensure high levels of equipment reliability, operational efficiency and product quality.

The position offers exposure to automated manufacturing systems, injection moulding processes, preventative maintenance programmes and continuous improvement initiatives, with opportunities for ongoing technical training and development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out day-to-day maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of production machinery and associated equipment.
  • Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic faults to minimise production downtime.
  • Perform planned preventative maintenance (PPM) on production machinery, automation systems and auxiliary equipment.
  • Monitor and maintain essential machine services, including compressed air, water and material supply systems.
  • Work closely with production and engineering teams to investigate equipment failures, identify root causes and implement effective corrective actions.
  • Set and adjust machine operating parameters to ensure products meet dimensional and quality specifications.
  • Support the installation, commissioning, introduction and validation of new machinery, tooling and production equipment.
  • Assist with new tooling design, development and process improvement activities.
  • Participate in Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) initiatives and promote best practices in equipment reliability and asset care.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement projects focused on improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), reducing scrap and increasing productivity.
  • Support the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies and modern maintenance practices.
  • Maintain accurate maintenance records and ensure preventative maintenance schedules are completed in accordance with equipment manufacturer recommendations.
  • Support the training and development of production personnel in equipment operation, basic maintenance practices and safe working procedures.
  • Ensure compliance with all applicable health and safety procedures, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), company policies and Quality Management System requirements.
  • Maintain high standards of housekeeping and workplace organisation.
  • Occasional international travel may be required to support wider company technical or operational requirements, although this is expected to be very infrequent.
  • Mechanical Automation and Maintenance Fitter Craft Certificate or equivalent recognised technical qualification.
  • Good working knowledge of mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical systems.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve technical equipment issues.
  • Analytical and methodical approach to fault finding, root cause analysis and problem-solving.
  • Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
  • Good communication skills, including written and spoken English.
  • Understanding of safe working practices and the importance of quality and regulatory compliance.
  • Self-motivated, proactive and committed to maintaining high standards of safety, quality and equipment performance.
  • Willingness to work a 4-cycle shift pattern.

Desirable Experience

  • Previous maintenance experience within a manufacturing or production environment.
  • Experience working with automated manufacturing machinery and associated equipment.
  • Experience or training in injection moulding processes. This is advantageous but not essential, as training will be provided.
  • Understanding of planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) principles.
  • Familiarity with Good Manufacturing Practices and Quality Management Systems.
  • Experience supporting equipment commissioning, tooling changes or process validation.
  • Knowledge of continuous improvement methodologies and OEE improvement initiatives.
  • Ability to support and train colleagues in equipment operation and maintenance best practices.

What's on Offer?

  • Permanent position with an established manufacturing company in Limerick.
  • 4-cycle shift arrangement.
  • Opportunity to work with automated manufacturing equipment and modern production technologies.
  • Technical training and development, including injection moulding processes.
  • Exposure to continuous improvement, TPM and Industry 4.0 initiatives.
  • Opportunity to contribute directly to equipment reliability and operational performance.
  • Supportive team environment with opportunities for ongoing skills development.
