We are working with a well-established, award-winning food manufacturing business with a proud heritage and a strong reputation for quality. Due to continued investment and growth, they are looking for a Maintenance Engineer to join their engineering team at their modern manufacturing facility.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Multi-Skilled Engineer, Electrical Engineer or Electrician who wants to work in a well-invested environment where proactive maintenance, continuous improvement and engineering projects are genuinely encouraged.

The Role

As a Maintenance Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the reliability and performance of highly specialised production and packaging equipment.

While breakdown response and planned preventative maintenance will form an important part of the role, you will also have significant opportunities to get involved in continuous improvement, root cause analysis, equipment upgrades and capital investment projects.

The business operates a proactive engineering culture, meaning engineers are given the time and support to identify issues, implement improvements and improve overall equipment reliability.

Key Responsibilities

• Respond quickly and effectively to critical breakdowns.
• Carry out planned preventative maintenance and ensure PPMs remain effective.
• Diagnose and repair electrical and mechanical faults across production equipment.
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and reliability improvements.
• Support improvement projects from identification through to implementation.

• Work alongside production and engineering stakeholders to minimise downtime.
• Share knowledge and learning across the engineering team.
• Maintain accurate engineering records and complete relevant documentation.
