Job description

Electrical Engineer | £58,000 | 4 On / 4 Off

Sleaford, Lincolnshire | Food Manufacturing | Rotating Days & Nights

£58,000 + benefits

Are you an Electrical Engineer with strong industrial fault-finding experience looking for a well-paid shift role in a high-output manufacturing environment?

We're recruiting an Electrical Engineer for a large-scale poultry processing site in Sleaford, part of a major European food group supplying leading retail and foodservice customers.

This is a hands-on electrical engineering role working directly on production and packaging equipment, with responsibility for breakdown response, planned maintenance and improving equipment reliability.

The Shift

4 on / 4 off | Rotating Days & Nights

Days: 05:30-17:30
Nights: 17:30-05:30

A structured continental shift pattern with significant time off between rotations.

The Role

You’ll provide electrical engineering support across a busy production environment, keeping equipment running safely and efficiently.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Electrical fault-finding and breakdown response


• Working on single and three-phase systems


• Fault-finding on motors, drives, sensors and control systems


• Planned preventative maintenance


• Repairing and servicing production equipment


• Using SAP to record maintenance activity, labour and parts


• Supporting OEE and reliability improvements


• Reducing repeat failures and equipment downtime


• Working with engineering leadership and external engineers on complex faults


• Safe isolation and Lock Out / Tag Out procedures


• Supporting the training of colleagues and apprentices

What We're Looking For

Electrical experience is essential.

You’ll ideally have:

• NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Electrical Engineering


• Strong industrial electrical fault-finding experience


• FMCG, food manufacturing or other high-output manufacturing experience


• Experience with single and three-phase systems


• Knowledge of motors, drives, sensors and control systems


• PLC diagnostic experience


• Strong problem-solving skills


• Ability to work safely and make decisions under pressure

You don't need to be a PLC programmer, but you should be confident using PLCs for diagnostics and fault-finding.

SAP or other CMMS experience is useful but not essential.

What's On Offer?

• £58,000 salary


• 4 on / 4 off rotating days and nights


• Competitive holiday entitlement


• Pension contribution


• Life assurance


• Family-friendly policies


• Learning and development opportunities


• Long-term opportunity with a major food manufacturing group


• Ongoing investment in engineering and site capability

Why This Role?

This is a high-output, technically varied manufacturing environment where engineering reliability directly impacts production.

If you're an electrically qualified engineer looking for £58k, a 4-on/4-off shift pattern and genuine industrial engineering work, this is a strong opportunity.
