Job description

Multi-Skilled Engineer

Salary: £56,000 + 7% Bonus + Excellent Benefits

2 days/2 nights / Four off.

Some engineering vacancies exist because people leave.

This one exists because somebody was promoted.

Opportunities to join this manufacturing site are genuinely rare. Engineers build long-term careers here, developing their skills, progressing internally and, more often than not, staying until retirement.

As a result of continued investment and internal progression, we're looking for a Multi-Skilled Engineer to join a highly respected engineering team within a market-leading FMCG manufacturing environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Rare opportunity to join a business with exceptionally low staff turnover
• Genuine career progression and development pathways
• Established culture of promoting from within
• Modern, fast-paced manufacturing environment with significant investment
• Work alongside experienced engineers who are passionate about continuous improvement
• Opportunity to make a visible impact on production performance and reliability

The Role

Reporting to the Lead Engineer, you'll play a key role in maintaining and improving production equipment, supporting reliability, reducing downtime and driving continuous improvement across the site.

You'll work closely with production teams to identify root causes, implement long-term solutions and contribute to the site's journey towards world-class manufacturing standards.

This is a hands-on role where you'll be encouraged to challenge processes, share ideas and take ownership of improvements.

What We're Looking For

• Apprentice trained - Minimum NVQ / C&G LEVEL 3
• Multi-skilled engineering experience within food manufacturing.
• Strong fault-finding abilities across electrical, mechanical and pneumatic systems
• Experience supporting high-speed production machinery
• A proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across departments
• A strong commitment to health and safety

Package

• Salary £56,000 plus overtime
• Up to 7% discretionary bonus
• Company pension scheme matched 10%
• Life assurance
• Bupa Healthcare
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Subsidised canteen
• Employee wellbeing programme
• Enhanced maternity, paternity and sick pay
• Ongoing training and development opportunities

If you're looking for a role where you can build a long-term career rather than simply move jobs, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
