Single Skilled Engineer

Ever worked on a site where everything is fine right up until the exact moment it is absolutely not fine? This is that kind of place.

Fast-paced FMCG manufacturing. High output. Constant changeovers. Machinery that does not care about your plans, your break, or your optimism. If it goes down, it goes down loudly and usually at the worst possible moment.

Package:

• 6 weeks holiday including bank holidays
• 15% discount from day one
• Additional discount card for a friend or family member
• Market leading pension and life assurance
• Subsidised canteen
• Free parking
• Healthcare support including digital GP access
• Retail, gym and leisure discounts
• Enhanced family friendly policies
• Long service recognition and career development opportunities

This is a hands-on maintenance role focused on tooling systems across multiple production lines. Less theory. More fixing things under pressure while production waits for you to be a hero.

You will be the person who keeps production from turning into a very expensive standstill.

• Carry out planned inspections and preventative maintenance on tooling systems
• Jump on breakdowns and get lines back up before downtime becomes a problem with numbers attached to it
• Support fast changeovers and line adjustments to keep production moving
• Diagnose faults on mechanical and electrical systems without needing a full committee meeting first
• Calibrate and fine-tune equipment so it actually does what it is supposed to do
• Work closely with production to remove repeat issues and reduce downtime
• Keep maintenance records up to date, because someone will ask eventually
• Work safely, even when everything around you is trying its best not to be
• Stay ahead of equipment issues instead of waiting for them to announce themselves loudly

If you can already fix things properly, you will be fine. If you like guessing, you will suffer.

• NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
• Solid experience in FMCG or fast-moving production environments
• Strong fault-finding skills on industrial machinery and tooling systems
• Confident working under pressure when lines are down and everyone is watching
• Ability to make decisions without overthinking them into paralysis
• Practical, proactive mindset focused on uptime and reliability
• Good communication with engineers and production teams
• Someone who actually enjoys solving problems rather than just logging them

• 5 on, 4 off rotating
• 3 weeks days (06:00-18:00)
• 1 week nights (18:00-06:00)

This is proper engineering. Not monitoring screens and hoping for the best. You will be fixing, adjusting, improving and occasionally firefighting when production decides today is the day everything changes at once.
