Multi Skilled Engineer

Some sites quietly make food. This one makes a lot of it, continuously, at scale, and expects the engineering function to keep pace when things inevitably don't go to plan.

We're supporting a large UK food manufacturing business operating a high-output poultry processing environment in Lincolnshire. They are looking to appoint an Electrical Engineer to strengthen the shift team, maintaining, improving and restoring critical production equipment within a fast-paced FMCG setting where uptime, safety and consistency directly drive performance.

You will be responsible for providing electrical engineering support to production, ensuring equipment is maintained, repaired and optimised to deliver maximum availability and performance.

Key responsibilities include:

• Responding quickly and safely to plant stoppages and breakdowns
• Electrical fault finding across production and packaging equipment
• Working on single and three-phase systems in a live manufacturing environment
• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) via SAP
• Supporting improvements in equipment reliability and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
• Ensuring all work is completed in line with safe systems of work, including LO/TO procedures
• Working closely with production and engineering teams to resolve issues effectively and prevent recurrence

• NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Electrical Engineering
• Strong electrical fault-finding experience in industrial environments
• Experience working with PLC-controlled systems at a diagnostic level
• Knowledge of motors, sensors, drives and control systems
• Understanding of safe isolation and high-risk equipment procedures
• Experience in FMCG, food, packaging or similar fast-paced manufacturing environments preferred
• SAP or CMMS experience advantageous

It offers:

• A structured 4 on / 4 off shift pattern with significant time off between rotations
• Exposure to high-speed FMCG production systems operating at scale
• Genuine opportunity to improve equipment reliability and reduce repeat failures
• A stable, well-invested manufacturing environment with ongoing operational demand
• Continuous improvement activity that is expected, not optional

For engineers who enjoy solving problems in real time, this is a genuinely active and demanding manufacturing environment with real technical variety.
