Job Description

Great maintenance engineering role for someone who s good at figuring out what s gone wrong, fixing it fast, and getting the line moving again ideally before anyone notices it stopped.

You're the person who doesn t panic when an alarm goes off. You re already walking towards the issue while everyone else is still trying to remember where the stop button is.

The environment? FMCG / food manufacturing / fast-paced kit-heavy chaos. You know the type where if one thing goes down, everything stops, and suddenly you re the most popular person on site.

What you ll be doing:
  • Fault finding quick, accurate, and ideally not just turning it off and on again

  • Fixing things properly the first time

  • Spotting problems before they turn into breakdowns

  • Working closely with production to keep downtime to a minimum

  • Getting stuck into improvement projects when things are running (so, not that often)

What you ll need:
  • An electrical bias qualified, experienced, and confident under pressure

  • Background in FMCG, food, or fast-moving manufacturing

  • A sharp eye, steady hands, and the ability to make decisions without holding a meeting about it

  • Bonus points if you ve got a sense of humour and don t sulk when asked to do overtime

What you won t be doing:
  • Sitting in a maintenance office waiting for instructions

  • Logging jobs for someone else to fix

  • Working somewhere that still thinks run to fail is a maintenance strategy

If you want somewhere that lets you get stuck in, values engineers who can think on their feet, and actually invests in their kit this one s worth a look.
