Maintenance Engineer - Electrically Biased (Double Days)

If you're an electrically biased engineer who doesn't fancy the 4-on-4-off circus or the zombie life of night shifts, this one might land well.

This is a double days role (6am-2pm / 2pm-10pm) with a well-established food manufacturer in Leeds — the kind of place that values engineers who can think fast, act smart, and fix problems without needing to be handheld.

It's fast-paced, as you'd expect in food production. But they've got the kit, the support, and the standards that make it a rewarding place to work — not just a firefighting session from clock-in to clock-out.

You'll be:

Electrically biased but mechanically capable

Hands-on with planned and reactive maintenance

Involved in driving improvements, not just band-aid fixes

Comfortable working with production to reduce downtime and increase output

Experience with any of the following would be a big bonus:

Multihead weighers

Check weighers

Metal detectors

Horizontal & vertical form/fill/seal machines

High-speed fillers

Shrink wrappers

What's in it for you?

A solid shift pattern with no night shifts

Strong, stable business with a great reputation

Well-supported team environment

Opportunities to get involved in projects and CI
