**Job Title: Mechanical Craft Team Member (DLRS)**

**Department: Central Engineering**

**Location: Port Talbot (SA13)**

**Salary: £31,855 + 12.5% Shift Allowance (£3,981)**

**Closing Date: Sunday 9th November 2025**

**Interviews will be conducted w/c 10th November 2025**

We believe that our strength is not just in our steel but the diversity of our workforce. Our people make the difference.

**Do you want to keep the UK's largest steelworks moving?**

We’re looking for a mechanically skilled technician to join our Diesel Loco Repair Shop in Port Talbot, supporting a fleet of 19 industrial shunter locomotives that are vital to our site’s logistics operations.

**What you will do**:
This role is based in our recently refurbished workshop and involves carrying out planned maintenance, mechanical overhauls and fault-finding work across a variety of locomotive systems - from traditional diesel-electrics to modern hybrid units. You’ll also respond to breakdowns across site, working closely with a multi-skilled team of engineers and craft colleagues to keep operations on track.

You’ll need to be confident working on engines, gearboxes, fuel systems, brakes and other mechanical components, while contributing to continuous improvement initiatives and maintaining high safety standards. You'll also be expected to follow engineering drawings, complete work logs in SAP and work in alignment with production requirements.

**What you will need**:
We’re looking for someone with a City & Guilds Level 3 qualification in vehicle or plant maintenance - ideally gained through a time-served apprenticeship. Experience with diesel engines is essential, and any additional knowledge of pneumatics, hydraulics or basic electrical systems would be beneficial.

You’ll need to be IT literate, safety-conscious and capable of working as part of a team in a fast-paced environment. Familiarity with SAP would be a bonus.

**Ready to make a difference?**
