Job description

Are you an electrically biased Multi-Skilled Engineer who enjoys solving problems, working independently and taking ownership from start to finish?

We’re looking for a hands‑on maintenance engineer with strong electrical skills who thrives on troubleshooting and finding solutions.

Experience as a Service Engineer or Field Service Engineer would be particularly valuable.

Whether your experience is in manufacturing, FMCG, food, packaging, automotive or another fast‑paced engineering environment, we’re interested in the transferable skills you can bring.

Contract: Permanent

Shift Pattern: 4 on / 4 off (2 days, 2 nights, 7am–7pm)

Why join us?

• Work with a wide variety of production and manufacturing equipment
• Put your electrical and mechanical fault‑finding skills to use
• Get involved in planned and reactive maintenance
• Investigate root causes rather than simply fixing the immediate problem
• Help drive improvements in equipment reliability and performance
• Join an established engineering environment with opportunities across Dairy and Blow Moulding

The Role

In this role, you’ll take ownership of both planned and reactive maintenance, helping to minimise downtime and keep equipment running reliably. You’ll diagnose and resolve faults across a range of systems and machinery, support automation and control fault finding, and carry out preventative, condition‑based and corrective maintenance. You’ll also play an active part in continuous improvement and reliability initiatives, using your technical expertise to identify improvements and deliver effective solutions from start to finish.

What We’re Looking For

• Completed a recognised engineering apprenticeship
• HNC Electrical preferred (or Mechanical with strong electrical competence)
• Strong electrical capability with sound mechanical skills
• Maintenance experience within a manufacturing / FMCG environment
• Automation and CI tools experience advantageous
• IOSHH / NEBOSH desirable

What’s In It For You

• Long‑term career with clear development pathways
• 276 hours annual leave
• 5% annual bonus (company performance dependent)
• Pension scheme and life assurance
• Müller Rewards platform (retail discounts)
• On‑site parking
• Supportive engineering team environment
