If you're the kind of person who likes the idea of working on highly accurate bespoke lens producing machines and thrive in a fast-paced setting, then keep reading as this role could be for you.

As a Maintenance Engineer you'll join the nightshift team at Airways Optical in Southampton.

We know that great engineers don't just fix problems—they prevent them. In this role, you'll be hands-on with mechanical, pneumatic, and electrical systems, carrying out both planned and reactive maintenance. You'll be the go-to expert for keeping process-critical equipment in top shape, working closely with production and engineering teams to make sure everything runs smoothly. And because we're always looking to improve, you'll also have the chance to contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that really make a difference.

We're looking for someone who's completed an engineering apprenticeship and holds a minimum qualification of ONC, City & Guilds Level 3, NVQ Level 3 or equivalent. You'll need to be confident diagnosing faults across a range of systems, and just as importantly, you'll be flexible, resilient, and take pride in doing things to a high standard.

At Specsavers, we don't just talk about values—we live them. Curiosity, courage, compassion, collaboration, and commercial thinking are at the heart of everything we do. You'll be joining a team that's supportive, inclusive, and genuinely passionate about helping millions of people see better every day.

So, if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and be part of a company that's making a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
