• Direct daily maintenance activities and ensure smooth operation of machinery, processes, and shift coverage.
• Contribute to site audits (BRC, GMP, AIG, etc.) and help shape practical, effective procedures.
• Utilise the CMMS to improve maintenance planning, reporting, and downtime reduction.
• Collaborate with the Engineering Manager and other functions to maintain asset performance and reliability.

• Food manufacturing experience.
• Strong people management skills.
• IOSH certification (NEBOSH certification preferred).
• Engineering qualifications; multi-skilled background preferred.
• Solid CMMS knowledge.
• A track record of improving maintenance and reducing downtime.
