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
