Engineering Supervisor / Maintenance Team Leader

Callington, Cornwall

Circa £45,000-£46,000 + Overtime + Benefits

Monday to Friday | 6:00am-3:00pm | No Night Shifts

Ready to step up from Maintenance Engineer into leadership? Or already supervising a team and looking for a better work-life balance?

We're recruiting an Engineering Supervisor for a large, established manufacturing operation near Callington.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Maintenance Engineer who can lead others, or an existing Engineering Supervisor who still enjoys getting involved with machinery, breakdowns and hands-on engineering.

You'll lead a team of Multiskilled Maintenance Engineers, helping keep a busy production facility running efficiently, whilst taking responsibility for daily workloads, maintenance priorities and engineering standards.

Importantly, you won't be expected to manage everything alone. You'll have the support of an Engineering Manager giving you the opportunity to develop your leadership skills whilst remaining close to the engineering work you enjoy.

The Role

This is a genuine mix of hands-on maintenance and engineering supervision, rather than an office-based management position.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading, supporting and coordinating a team of six Maintenance Engineers.

• Prioritising daily engineering workloads, breakdowns and maintenance activities.

• Remaining hands-on with electrical and mechanical fault-finding, repairs and machinery maintenance.

• Supporting planned preventative maintenance and helping ensure engineering tasks are completed effectively.

• Working closely with production teams to minimise downtime and keep equipment running reliably.

• Supporting engineers with more complex breakdowns and technical problems.

• Helping identify recurring equipment faults and opportunities to improve reliability.

• Promoting safe working practices and maintaining engineering standards.

• Working alongside the Engineering Manager on maintenance priorities, team development and site improvements.

You'll be working within a busy production environment, with a varied mix of processing machinery, mechanical systems and electrical equipment.

What We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in speaking with:

• Experienced Maintenance Engineers who have acted as a Lead Engineer, Senior Engineer or Shift Lead and are ready for formal supervisory responsibility.

• Engineering Team Leaders or Supervisors who want to remain hands-on rather than move into a purely management-focused position.

• Apprentice-trained or Level 3 qualified engineers with strong maintenance and fault-finding experience.

• Electrically or mechanically biased engineers who are comfortable working across both disciplines.

• Engineers with experience supporting colleagues, coordinating maintenance activities or prioritising breakdowns.

Experience within food manufacturing, FMCG, packaging, industrial processing or other manufacturing environments would be particularly relevant.

You don't necessarily need to have held the title of Engineering Supervisor before. If you're technically strong, confident supporting other engineers and ready to take ownership of a team, we'd be keen to hear from you.

What's on Offer?

• Indicative salary: £45,000-£46,000 per annum.

• Monday to Friday, 6:00am-3:00pm.

• No night shifts or continental shift rotations.No night shifts or continental shift rotations.

• Good opportunity for overtime at x 1.5

• Genuine balance of hands-on engineering and supervisory responsibilities.

• Support from an experienced Engineering Manager.

• Permanent position within an established manufacturing business.

• Opportunity to develop your leadership and management experience.
