Engineer Wanted – Not Just to Keep the Machines Running, But to Make Them Better

If you're an Engineer who thrives in a fast-moving environment where no two days are the same, this is your chance to step into a key role within a cutting-edge production site. This is not your average maintenance job—this is full-spectrum engineering where every decision counts, every fix matters, and every improvement is celebrated.

About the Company

This is a forward-thinking manufacturing site that takes pride in producing high-quality, high-volume output to industry-leading standards. The business is built around reliability, efficiency, and continuous improvement—driven by the engineers who keep things moving. There’s no red tape, no wasted time, and no tolerance for mediocrity—just high standards, high energy, and high performance. This is a place where engineering isn't just a function—it's the backbone.

About the Engineer Role

This Engineer role is rotational (4 on / 4 off), covering days with extended flexibility on weekend start times (production-free days). You’ll be hands-on across mechanical and electrical systems, health and safety compliance, documentation control, and problem solving—while also helping shape smarter, leaner processes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Respond rapidly to breakdowns and provide clear feedback to production

  • Deliver preventative maintenance to minimise downtime and extend asset life

  • Maintain and update the PPM system, documentation, and contractor logs

  • Lead by example on Health & Safety—audits, updates, investigations, and reports

  • Work on the installation and commissioning of new machinery

  • Be “audit-ready” at all times with full compliance on safety and standards

  • Identify and eliminate inefficiencies in engineering or production systems

  • Keep communication open with production, management and external suppliers

What the Ideal Engineer Will Bring

  • City & Guilds Level 3 in Electrical Engineering

  • 18th Edition (or willing to work towards it)

  • Hands-on experience with PLCs, hydraulics, pneumatics, and welding (TIG/MMA)

  • Knowledge of food production safety standards (HACCP/Food Safety Level 2)

  • IPAF and Permit to Work certified

  • Resilient, adaptable, and comfortable working across departments

Benefits of the Engineer Role

  • 4-on / 4-off schedule – 12-hour shifts for excellent work-life balance

  • Weekend flexibility early starts available when production is offline

  • Full training and development opportunities provided

  • Career progression in a growing and respected business

  • A collaborative, no-nonsense culture built on respect and ownership

  • Be part of a values-led company where engineering is truly valued

Why Join This Team as an Engineer?

This isn’t just another factory job. It’s a career-launching opportunity in a site that trusts its engineers, listens to new ideas, and invests in better ways of working. You’ll get the respect, resources, and runway to grow—not just as a technician, but as a technical leader.

If you’re looking for more than just a maintenance role—if you want a job where you solve problems, implement improvements, and take control—this Engineer position is where it starts.
