The Role

The site has expanded significantly over recent years and continues to scale at pace, creating a genuine opportunity for someone who wants to step into a broader, more strategic leadership role as the business evolves.

You will lead the site engineering function, take full ownership of engineering performance and drive a culture of reliability, improvement and professional development. The role requires a leader who can deliver in a hands on environment while also contributing to long term strategy as the operation continues to grow.

This is an ideal move for an ambitious engineering professional who is ready to take on a bigger challenge and grow with a business that is investing heavily in its people, capability and future.

• Work closely with Production and Quality to improve OEE, reliability and line performance
• Maintain accurate maintenance records, asset registers and schedules through the CMMS
• Manage engineering KPIs, budgets, spares and contractor spend
• Provide clear performance updates and recommendations to senior leadership
• Contribute to the long term engineering strategy as the business continues to expand
