About The Role
We’re looking for Maintenance Technicians to join the on-site engineering team at our Fridge Recycling Facility in Telford.
As AO’s new Maintenance Technician, you will play a massive part in keeping our plant one of the most efficient and advanced in the UK. That means overseeing work to the plant, delivering planned maintenance schedules, and getting stuck in with improvement projects to drive the plant’s reliability and keep costs down.
Our fully automated fridge recycling plant is the most efficient and advanced in the UK and sets a new standard in recovering metals, plastics, and gases. It processes 100 fridges per hour, 700,000 per year!
Here’s What You Can Expect To Be Doing
No two days are ever the same at AO Recycling, but here’s a taste of what you’ll get up to:

Work 4 on 4 off rotational day and night shifts
Complete the planned maintenance inspections and condition reports in line with the site maintenance plan
Plan and deliver corrective and reactive work, keeping production downtime to a minimum
Complete dynamic risk assessments and adopt a ‘clean-as-you-go’ approach to keep our plant super safe
Keep tabs on any malfunctioning equipment and keep site management in the loop
Get hands on with engineering project work and play a part in new installations or refurbishments
Log your daily progress in the Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS)
Call on your engineering expertise in problem-solving workshops
Kick off each day with operational review meetings, providing updates on planned maintenance compliance, live defects, and ongoing improvement plans

Highly organised with the ability to plan and prioritise workloads
