Job description

Multi-Skilled Engineer
Food Manufacturing - NG34
Lincolnshire | £58,000 | 4 on 4 off | Days / Nights

We're recruiting a Multi-Skilled Engineer for a large-scale site in Lincolnshire, easily commutable from Sleaford, Lincoln, Metheringham, North Hykeham and Grantham, part of a major, established food group with operations across the UK and Europe.

It's a busy, high-output environment where engineering has a direct impact on production performance. The equipment is varied, the pace is real, and when something goes down, you'll be expected to find the fault and get it moving again.

This isn't a role for someone who wants every problem neatly diagnosed before it reaches them.

You'll be hands-on across production equipment, supporting the wider engineering team to reduce downtime, improve reliability and stop repeat failures.

What the role involves

• Electrical and mechanical fault-finding and breakdown response
• Planned preventative maintenance and work orders
• Working across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Fault finding on PLC and inverter-controlled equipment
• Supporting production start-up and equipment availability
• Safe isolation, risk assessment and safe systems of work
• Root cause analysis and repeat failure reduction
• Supporting Lean, Asset Care and continuous improvement
• Working closely with Production to resolve issues quickly
• Accurate recording of maintenance activity through the site's CMMS

What's on offer

£58,000, permanent, with an established and financially secure manufacturing business. Technical variety across a broad range of equipment rather than the same handful of machines. A site with a genuine focus on reliability and reducing downtime, backed by the scale and investment of a wider group.

If you're a Multi-Skilled Engineer who wants £58k, technical variety and a site where engineering actually makes a difference, this is worth a conversation.
