About the Multi Skilled Engineer role

As a Multi Skilled Engineer, you’ll be the heartbeat of hatchery operations — keeping incubators, handling systems, alarms, and every critical piece of kit running at full tilt.

You’ll handle breakdowns like a boss, smash through PPMs, and keep an eye on everything from legislative compliance to spare parts stock — all while switching between days and nights on a 4 on / 4 off shift.

This role is for someone who thrives under pressure and relishes a challenge—bringing energy, focus, and the determination to keep production running smoothly while always looking for ways to drive continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain, inspect, and repair all incubation and ancillary equipment across site

  • React fast to faults and fix them with minimal disruption to live stock, systems, and timelines

  • Proactively reduce downtime by maintaining stock of key spares and tools

  • Ensure all equipment is safe, legally compliant, and performance-optimised

  • Keep alarm systems running 24/7 — no failures, no excuses

  • Support and communicate with site leadership around future equipment risks or issues

  • Maintain accurate service and breakdown records

  • Keep the workshop and stores running like a tight ship

  • Tackle other repairs and maintenance duties as needed

Who You Are

  • An experienced Multi Skilled Engineer who thrives in a production environment

  • Electrically and mechanically competent — fault-finder, fixer, and systems-thinker

  • You know what safe looks like — and won’t settle for anything less

  • Highly organised, adaptable, and calm under pressure

  • Comfortable working days & nights (0600–1800/1800–0600) on a 4-on/4-off shift

  • Not afraid of overtime — and happy to flex when the business needs it

What’s In It For You?

  • £50,257 base salary + paid overtime

  • Rotating 4-on / 4-off shift with built-in work-life balance

  • Competitive holiday allowance

  • Company pension contribution

  • Life assurance

  • Family-friendly policies

  • Huge learning & development opportunities

  • Be part of a values-led, future-facing business that’s setting the benchmark in food production
