Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer

Location: Haverhill, Suffolk
Salary: Circa £55,000
Shift: Flexible / shift pattern (Days and some nights not many)
Industry: Food Manufacturing

We're looking for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join a busy food manufacturing site in Haverhill.

This is a genuinely hands-on engineering role where you'll be responsible for keeping a high-output production operation running smoothly. We're looking for someone comfortable working across both electrical and mechanical maintenance, with the ability to diagnose and resolve faults quickly.

The site operates a single, high-volume production line producing around 100,000 products per day, so reliability and uptime are critical.

You'll be responsible for:

• Reactive and planned maintenance across the production facility

• Electrical and mechanical fault-finding

• Diagnosing and repairing breakdowns

• Maintaining production machinery and packaging equipment

• Working across areas including boilers, electrical systems, mechanical equipment and utilities

• Carrying out preventative maintenance to reduce repeat failures

• Working closely with production to minimise downtime

• Identifying opportunities to improve machine reliability and performance

MULTIVAC experience would be highly advantageous.

We're looking for a genuinely multi-skilled engineer with a strong practical approach.

You'll ideally have:

• Strong electrical and mechanical maintenance experience

• Experience within manufacturing, food production, packaging or a similar high-volume environment

• Good fault-finding and diagnostic skills

• Experience working on production machinery

• The ability to work across both production equipment and site services

• A proactive approach to preventative maintenance and continuous improvement

• Relevant engineering qualifications such as NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds or equivalent

You don't necessarily need to be an expert in every discipline. We're more interested in someone who can fault-find, think for themselves and get things running again.

• Circa £55,000 salary

• Flexible shift arrangements

• Permanent position with an established food manufacturer

• Varied, hands-on engineering environment

• Opportunity to work on high-volume automated production equipment

• Genuine responsibility and autonomy within the engineering team

This is a great opportunity for a local Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer looking to join an established operation in the Haverhill area.

If you enjoy fault-finding, fixing problems and keeping production moving, this could be an excellent fit.
