• Be able to manage several tasks at once.
• Be confident making decisions, solving problems and knowing when to escape.
• Be keen to take on more responsibility and develop your skills.

It would be great if you also:

• Have experience supporting machinery installations, modifications or improvement projects.
• Have knowledge of improvement methods such as Lean, 5S or Six Sigma.
• Have completed a relevant engineering apprenticeship.

We're also open to applications from engineering graduates.

We offer a competitive benefits package, including:

• Company pension, free pension advice and life insurance.
• Healthcare Cash Plan, Employee Assistance Programme, Occupational Health Screening and a Health & Wellbeing Programme.
• Enhanced annual leave, enhanced maternity and paternity pay, bereavement leave and company sick pay.
• Cycle to Work Scheme, discounted products and free on-site parking.
• Employee referral scheme, Long Service Awards, Reward & Recognition Programme, company events and a pre-retirement scheme.

Why Join Us?

Joining our Engineering team means playing a key part in shaping how our products are made, helping us work smarter, reduce waste and keep improving quality.

You'll work on a varied range of projects and build your engineering career with hands-on support from experienced engineers, taking on more responsibility as you grow.

If you're a problem-solver who enjoys making things better, we'd love to hear from you.
