Looking for a role with proper work/life balance and a team that actually invests in its engineers?
This is a day-shift in a well-established food manufacturing site producing high-volume, high-quality chilled products for major UK retailers. The site has been operating for decades, is financially stable, and is now pushing major upgrades across machinery, automation and site-wide performance.
The role
As a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer, you’ll be part of a tight-knit engineering team keeping a busy food factory running smoothly. You’ll split your time between:
*
Reactive breakdown work across production, packaging and utilities
*
Planned and preventative maintenance to reduce downtime
*
Supporting machinery upgrades, line improvements and new equipment installs
*
Ensuring hygiene, quality and safety standards are met at all times
*
Driving continuous improvement across the plant
It’s a role for someone who likes getting stuck in, solving problems fast and seeing the impact of their work on output.
What you need
*
Apprentice trained (Electrical or Mechanical)
*
NVQ3 / ONC / HNC in a relevant engineering discipline
*
Food, FMCG, automotive or pharmaceutical manufacturing experience
*
Strong understanding of CI tools, TPM and modern maintenance practices
*
Confident working with safe systems of work: LOTO, PUWER, permits
*
Good GMP awareness and a positive, hands-on approach
What you get
*
Clear development pathway within engineering
*
Benefits & recognition hub with strong retail discounts
*
A stable, supportive environment with long-term prospects
