About the Role

Are you ready to use your technical talents to make a direct impact on patient lives worldwide?

Our Roche Motherwell Center of Excellence is one of Scotland’s premier, cutting edge technology corridors. Forget the dull, legacy manufacturing floors-this facility boasts high grade, automated cleanrooms and advanced bio containment spaces that will genuinely challenge and elevate your technical expertise.

We are seeking a dedicated and ambitious Maintenance Engineer to play a pivotal role in sustaining the production of our life saving diagnostic sensors. Operating within a high precision, cleanroom environment, you will be responsible for ensuring the total operational reliability and safety of advanced manufacturing equipment while strictly maintaining its validated state.

This role demands an agile professional who can perfectly balance proactive Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) with rapid, high level troubleshooting to safeguard product efficacy and patient safety. Whether you are a seasoned professional or an engineer in the early stages of your career, your expertise will directly contribute to the success of our world class diagnostic site.

Key Responsibilities

  • Preventative Maintenance & Reliability: Generate, execute, and manage comprehensive preventative maintenance programs (PMs) on advanced production equipment to maximize operational uptime and minimize unplanned downtime.
  • Reactive Troubleshooting & RCA: Diagnose and resolve complex mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic system failures within a high pressure, medical device production environment to eliminate supply gaps.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Maintain meticulous records and data integrity in strict accordance with ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820, and GxP standards to ensure equipment remains in its validated state.
  • Equipment Validation: Support Quality and Engineering teams during the execution of IQ/OQ/PQ (Installation, Operational, and Performance Qualification) protocols for new or modified machinery.
  • Continuous Improvement: Identify and implement equipment optimization projects to systematically improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and manufacturing productivity.
  • Documentation & Change Control: Lead or support updates to manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, risk assessments, and formal change control processes.
  • Safety & Environment: Adhere strictly to all Safety, Health, and Environment (SHE) protocols, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and strict cleanroom gowning/contamination control procedures.
  • Inventory & Contractor Oversight: Proactively manage inventory levels for critical components to ensure rapid response times. Coordinate third party contractor site visits, performing rigorous reviews of RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) and supervising works.
  • Stakeholder Interaction & Teamwork: In this role, you will serve as a vital technical linchpin. You will work cross functionally with key stakeholders across the business, including the Sensor Production Team, Process Engineering, Equipment Engineering, Equipment Support Group, Quality, Procurement, Finance, and SHE teams to drive operational excellence and ensure compliance.

Requirements & Key Skills

  • Education: College or degree qualification in an appropriate engineering discipline, or significant equivalent relevant hands on work experience.
  • Industry Experience: Significant experience as a hands on maintenance engineer within a highly regulated manufacturing environment, preferably within the medical device sector.
  • Core Knowledge: Proven experience working comfortably within Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) frameworks.
  • Technical Expertise: Strong proficiency in diagnosing mechanical and electrical systems. Specific knowledge of rotary converting or reel to reel printing (flexographic/rotary screen) is a significant advantage.
  • Problem Solving: Strong analytical skills with a sense of urgency, balanced by a “quality first” mindset to ensure patient safety and product efficacy.
  • Digital & Technical Literacy: Competent in using Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and standard office software for technical reporting. Skilled in authoring clear technical documentation and maintenance work instructions.
  • Collaboration: A proactive team player who takes full accountability for seeking solutions and supporting the continuous development of colleagues.
