Maintenance Operator
A Maintenance Operator is the go-to person for keeping equipment, systems, and facilities in top working order. They blend technical know-how with hands-on skills to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely. Here's what the role typically involves:
Inspecting and maintaining machinery, such as HVAC systems, pumps, or production equipment.
Performing routine checks and preventive maintenance to avoid breakdowns.
Troubleshooting and repairing faults in mechanical, electrical, or plumbing systems.
Keeping detailed records of maintenance activities and equipment performance.
Collaborating with other departments to schedule repairs and minimize downtime.
Following safety protocols and ensuring compliance with regulations.
You’ll find Maintenance Operators in settings like manufacturing plants, utilities, hospitals, and large commercial buildings. The role often requires a mix of mechanical, electrical, and sometimes plumbing knowledge — plus a good dose of problem-solving and attention to detail2.
Blaydon is a town in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England, and historically in County Durham. Blaydon, and neighbouring Winlaton, which Blaydon is now contiguous with, form the town of Blaydon-on-Tyne. The Blaydon/Winlaton ward had a population in 2011 of 13,896.[4]
Between 1894 and 1974, Blaydon was an urban district which extended inland from the Tyne along the River Derwent for ten miles (16 km), and included the mining communities of Chopwell and High Spen, the villages of Rowlands Gill, Blackhall Mill, Barlow, Winlaton Mill and Stella, as well as Blaydon and Winlaton. During its existence, the Urban District's fourteen and a half square miles constituted the second largest administrative district by area, on Tyneside, after Newcastle upon Tyne.
