We're working on behalf of an established food manufacturing business to find an experienced Multi-Skilled Engineer to join their site engineering team. This is a varied, hands-on role covering plant, machinery, equipment and building maintenance across a modern production site.

You'll play a key part in keeping the site running to a high standard, coordinating contractors, driving continuous improvement, and supporting the business as a trusted supplier to its customers.

Key responsibilities

• Carry out maintenance on plant, machinery, equipment and buildings to support operational needs
• Deliver a timely, supportive maintenance service to production, minimising disruption from breakdowns
• Maintain and audit a planned preventative maintenance programme, balancing cost, timescales and production impact
• Coordinate and manage third-party contractors on site, including risk assessments and permits to work
• Prioritise workload to minimise disruption to production
• Complete daily work records, parts usage logs and risk assessments accurately
• Communicate clearly at shift handover on work completed and outstanding
• Support and coach less experienced engineers, developing the wider team's skill base

• Provide management cover in the Engineering Manager's absence
• Participate in an on-call rota for out-of-hours call outs

About you

• Proven multi-skilled engineering experience, ideally within food manufacturing or a similarly regulated environment
• Comfortable working to planned maintenance schedules and completing detailed documentation
• Strong communicator, confident liaising with production teams, contractors and management
• A natural problem solver with a continuous improvement mindset
• Willing to take part in an on-call rota
• Experience coaching or developing other engineers would be an advantage

What's on offer

• Permanent role with an established, growing business
• Opportunity to develop and lead within the engineering team
• A genuinely varied, hands-on role rather than a single-line, single-shift position
