We’re on the hunt for a semi-skilled Shift Engineer to join a fast-paced, no-two-days-the-same food manufacturing site on the outskirts of Doncaster. This is a great opportunity for someone with solid engineering experience who's ready to roll up their sleeves, get stuck in, and keep things running smoothly.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting site operations by carrying out planned and reactive maintenance.
• Taking ownership of your workload and tackling tasks from audits, PPMs, and work requests.
• Ensuring machinery is safe, reliable, and meets production standards.
• Working closely with internal teams and external contractors.
• Keeping health, safety, and food safety at the core of everything you do.

What we’re looking for:

• Engineering experience, ideally with both electrical and mechanical exposure.
• NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in mechanical/electrical maintenance or repair.
• Experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment (food industry experience is a bonus, not a must).
• Someone who’s organised, a good communicator, and thrives in a team.

Why apply?

• Salary between £35,000–£39,000 depending on experience.
• Monday to Friday rota-based shifts (earlies/lates).
• A supportive team, great training opportunities, and a role where you can make a real impact.
