Job description

Engineering Supervisor – Food Manufacturing – Doncaster
£49,000–£51,000 (Depending on Experience)

We’re looking for an experienced and hands-on Engineering Supervisor to join a fast-paced food production site in Doncaster. If you’ve got a sharp eye for maintenance, know how to lead from the front, and enjoy the buzz of keeping a factory running like a well-oiled machine, this one’s for you.

The role at a glance:

• Supporting the Engineering Manager to ensure machinery, equipment, and systems are running at peak performance.

  
  

• Leading your team through preventative maintenance and repair work—without disrupting production.

  
  

• Upholding food safety, hygiene, and health & safety standards like a boss.

  
  

• Keeping accurate maintenance records and supporting internal and external audits.

  
  

• Being the go-to person for troubleshooting and technical decision-making.

  
  

  What we’re after:

  • Strong background in engineering and team leadership within a manufacturing environment (bonus points if it's food-related).

    
    

  • Solid understanding of plant equipment and production machinery.

    
    

  • Experience using CMMS or similar systems (nice to have, not a dealbreaker).

    
    

  • Confident communicator with the ability to guide and mentor engineers on shift.

    
    

  • Someone cool under pressure, solutions-focused, and ready to step in when things go sideways.

    
    

    What’s in it for you:

    • £49,000–£51,000 depending on experience.

      
      

    • The chance to lead a skilled team in a role that actually values your input.

      
      

    • Monday to Friday schedule (let’s talk about the specifics).

      
      

    • No corporate nonsense—just a team that gets the job done.
