Contract: Permanent

We are currently recruiting for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join a highly successful, fast-paced food manufacturing and production site located on the outskirts of Bristol. This is a secure, permanent role offering great earning potential, consistent hours and an excellent long-term career path.

The Role & Shift Pattern:

This is a dynamic, hands-on role requiring strong flexibility. You will work an average of 40 to 45 hours per week on a Monday-to-Friday rotation. The primary shifts are 5:00am – 2:00pm and 9:00am – 6:00pm, but you must be fully flexible to accommodate early starts, late finishes or extended hours to support breakdown cover and production needs.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Diagnosing and fault-finding on both mechanical and electrical systems across the factory floor.
• Ensuring all manufacturing and packaging lines run at optimal efficiency with minimal downtime.

• Multi-Skilled Capability: Strong hands-on experience in both mechanical and electrical engineering.
• Industry Experience: Previous maintenance work within a food production, FMCG, or similar high-volume manufacturing environment is highly beneficial.
• Qualifications: Formal engineering certificates or electrical qualifications are an advantage, but proven hands-on experience and a strong technical skill set are highly valued.
• Flexibility: A genuine willingness to adapt to changing shift patterns, late finishes, or early starts when production demands it.
• Transport: Due to the shifting hours and site location, your own reliable transport is essential.

What’s On Offer:

• Competitive hourly rate from £19.00 to £23.00 per hour (DOE).
• High earning potential with an average of 40 to 45 hours per week paid.
• Stable, permanent Monday-to-Friday schedule.
