Job description

Site Services Engineer

Shifts: 4 on / 4 off (2 days, 2 nights, 4 off)

Location: Modern, large-scale manufacturing facility in Northamptonshire

Are you a skilled Mechanical Engineer with broad technical capability and a passion for keeping complex manufacturing operations running at their best? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly automated, clean, well-maintained production site featuring high-speed packing lines and a wide range of utilities.

About the Role

As a Site Services Engineer you’ll play a key role in maintaining and optimising the site’s core utilities infrastructure. You’ll be working within a dedicated engineering team responsible for ensuring high levels of reliability across:

• Boilers and steam systems
• Site utilities (compressed air, water, energy distribution, etc.)
• Support to production through robust plant performance and quick response when needed

You don’t need to be an expert in every utility area from day one. What matters is strong engineering fundamentals, a proactive mindset, and the ability to get hands‑on with a wide range of equipment.

What We’re Looking For

• Fully qualified Mechanical Engineer (multi-skilled or some electrical competency beneficial)
• Experience within manufacturing, industrial, utilities, or related engineering environments
• Ability to work autonomously as well as part of a wider engineering team
• Strong problem‑solving skills and a methodical approach to maintenance
• Willingness to learn and develop in specialist utility disciplines

What You’ll Get

• Competitive salary around £58,000
• 4 on / 4 off shift pattern (work‑life balance built in)
• Opportunity to work with modern equipment in a clean, highly automated factory

If you’re looking for variety, challenge, and the chance to build expertise in key utility systems while working in a well‑invested manufacturing environment, this role offers exactly that.
