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.
