You’ll be responsible for a mix of planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance, fault finding and continuous improvement, working closely with production to keep equipment running efficiently.

• Completing maintenance records and identifying root causes
• Improving repair times, reliability and engineering KPIs

• Maintaining high standards of safety, hygiene and food safety
• Working alongside contractors and the wider maintenance team

The ideal candidate will be an apprentice-trained Electrical or Mechanical Multi Skilled Engineer, qualified to Level 3 / City & Guilds / NVQ Level 3. Experience with instrument calibration, CMMS and preventative/predictive maintenance is important, with food manufacturing experience particularly valuable.

Package

• 3 on / 2 off day shift, 06:00-18:00
• 4% pension contribution from day one, increasing to 10% with matching
• 4x salary life assurance
