The Role

If you’re the kind of engineer who doesn’t wait to be told what’s broken, you’ll fit straight in here

This is a proper hands on engineering role in a fast moving production environment. You’ll be keeping machinery running, fixing breakdowns, and making sure production doesn’t grind to a halt at 2am when no one else wants to deal with it

You’ll need to be confident working on your own, making decisions, and getting things back up and running quickly. This isn’t a “call someone else” role

You’ll be working across a range of equipment including extrusion, coating and bakery machinery, so no two nights are the same

What You’ll Be Doing

• Carrying out planned and reactive maintenance across site equipment

• Diagnosing faults and repairing both mechanical and electrical issues

• Responding to breakdowns quickly to minimise downtime

• Updating and maintaining the CMMS system and job logs

• Supporting installation and commissioning of new equipment

• Working closely with production teams to keep operations running

• Supporting external contractors on site when required

• Driving improvements and contributing ideas to improve performance

• Managing your own workload and priorities across the shift

What You’ll Need

• Multi skilled experience across mechanical and electrical engineering

• Relevant qualification such as NVQ Level 3 or equivalent

• Experience working in a manufacturing or production environment

• Ability to work independently and make decisions under pressure

• Strong fault finding and problem solving skills

• Basic IT skills including CMMS systems

• 18th Edition wiring regulations is a strong advantage

• Experience with PLCs or inverters would be beneficial

What You Might Not Like

• It’s permanent nights which is not for everyone

• Shift patterns may vary between continental and 4 on 4 off

• You’ll often be working independently so you need to be self sufficient

• Breakdowns don’t wait for a good time so the pressure can be high

What To Do Next

If you’re an engineer who likes autonomy, problem solving, and getting stuck in rather than standing back, this is a strong opportunity
