Senior Engineer

Eccles
Up to £55,000 + Strong Benefits Package
Monday – Friday, 07:00 – 16:00
Permanent Role

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn’t just another maintenance role.

You’ll be stepping into a senior, hands-on engineering position where you’ll lead from the front, influence decisions, and drive real change across a busy manufacturing site.

If you’re tired of being “just another engineer” and want autonomy, responsibility, and a voice, this is the role for you.

What You’ll Be Doing - Senior Engineer

  • Taking ownership of multiple production lines and driving performance
  • Leading and developing a small engineering team (2 engineers)
  • Getting stuck into hands-on electrical & mechanical fault finding
  • Working with Siemens PLCs (fault finding + programming) and some Mitsubishi
  • Driving continuous improvement projects – not just firefighting
  • Working closely with production to keep the site running efficiently
  • Embedding high standards through 5S and best practice engineering

What We Want - Senior Engineer

  • A strong multi-skilled engineer (electrical bias) who can lead from the front
  • Solid background in food, FMCG, or fast-paced manufacturing
  • Confident with Siemens PLCs (non-negotiable)
  • Someone who has mentored, led, or stepped up in previous roles
  • A proactive mindset – fix problems properly, not temporarily
  • Comfortable working independently but also driving team performance

What You’ll Get - Senior Engineer

  • Up to £55,000 salary
  • Company pension
  • Staff discount scheme
  • Free on-site parking
  • Monday–Friday days – no shifts, no weekends
  • A genuine opportunity to step up and make an impact

Bottom Line - Senior Engineer

If you’re a senior engineer ready to take ownership, lead a team, and improve a site, this is a standout opportunity in the Eccles area.
