Maintenance Engineer

This is hands-on engineering in a live brewery where downtime isn't theoretical, it's expensive.

You'll be responsible for keeping production moving by maintaining, repairing, and improving mechanical systems across a high-volume FMCG environment. When something fails, you'll diagnose it quickly, fix it properly, and make sure it fails less often next time.

You'll work as part of a skilled engineering team who know the plant inside out and take pride in keeping it running safely and efficiently.
