• Manage engineering spares, tools, and inventory, including supplier coordination
• Work collaboratively with production teams to ensure smooth shift handovers
• Identify and support continuous improvement opportunities across the plant
• Ensure full compliance with health & safety standards
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organised working environment

About You

• Qualified in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (ONC, NVQ Level 3, C&G, BTEC or equivalent)
• Experience in a hands-on maintenance role within FMCG or manufacturing
• Strong electrical fault-finding skills (multi-skilled preferred)
• Experience working with automated production equipment
• Good IT skills for reporting and record-keeping
