Are you a Multi Skilled Engineer looking for a role where your engineering skills genuinely make a difference?

You’ll be responsible for a mix of planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance, fault finding and continuous improvement, working closely with production to keep equipment running efficiently.

• Supporting production to maximise equipment reliability and minimise downtime
• Completing maintenance records and identifying root causes
• Improving repair times, reliability and engineering KPIs
• Supporting continuous improvement and plant efficiency projects
• Maintaining high standards of safety, hygiene and food safety
• Working alongside contractors and the wider maintenance team

The ideal candidate will be an apprentice-trained Electrically Biased Multi Skilled Engineer, qualified to Level 3 / City & Guilds / NVQ Level 3.

Experience with instrument calibration, CMMS and preventative/predictive maintenance is important, with food manufacturing experience particularly valuable.

Package

• 3 on / 2 off day shift, 06:00-18:00
• 4% pension contribution from day one, increasing to 10% with matching
• 4x salary life assurance
• 24 shifts holiday, including Bank Holidays
• Medical expenses cover

Why Consider It?

This is a great opportunity for an engineer who wants strong earning potential, a consistent shift pattern and the chance to work across both electrical and mechanical engineering.

You’ll be part of a skilled maintenance team, working on a broad range of engineering challenges while having a direct impact on plant reliability, efficiency and continuous improvement.
