About Us

At Diageo, we’re home to world-famous brands like Baileys, Guinness, Smirnoff, and Johnnie Walker. Every year, we produce and deliver 6.5 billion litres of product across 180 global markets. Our Leven site is one of the largest and most advanced packaging facilities in the world, and we’re proud of the collaborative culture that underpins our success.

Working at Diageo means being part of a team that values inclusion, innovation, and continuous improvement. Whether you're joining us on a fixed-term contract or as a permanent colleague, you’ll be supported to develop your career while helping us deliver on our performance goals.

About the Role

As an Electrical Production Engineer, you will be part of the Packaging Line Craft team, bringing your technical expertise to help ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operations across high-speed packaging lines. You’ll support asset care, carry out planned and reactive maintenance, and drive improvements in line performance, safety, quality, and delivery.

Working closely with operators and team leaders, you’ll also coach colleagues in autonomous maintenance and troubleshooting. Your proactive approach to identifying and fixing problems will be key, and you’ll contribute to improvement projects, shift handovers, and Tier meetings. Safety is a top priority, and you’ll work in full compliance with safe systems of work, ensuring lockout/tagout and electrical standards are always met.

A recognised apprenticeship or HNC in electrical engineering (or equivalent) is essential. Ideally, you’ll have experience in FMCG or high-speed manufacturing, with an understanding of asset care systems and quality/safety compliance. A multiskilled background or willingness to develop further is a plus.
