Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer

Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer

Location: Haverhill, Suffolk
Salary: Circa £55,000
Shift: Flexible / shift pattern (Days and some nights not many)
Industry: Food Manufacturing

We're looking for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join a busy food manufacturing site in Haverhill.

This is a genuinely hands-on engineering role where you'll be responsible for keeping a high-output production operation running smoothly. We're looking for someone comfortable working across both electrical and mechanical maintenance, with the ability to diagnose and resolve faults quickly.

The site operates a single, high-volume production line producing around 100,000 products per day, so reliability and uptime are critical.

The Role

You'll be responsible for:

Reactive and planned maintenance across the production facility

Electrical and mechanical fault-finding

Diagnosing and repairing breakdowns

Maintaining production machinery and packaging equipment

Working across areas including boilers, electrical systems, mechanical equipment and utilities

Carrying out preventative maintenance to reduce repeat failures

Working closely with production to minimise downtime

Identifying opportunities to improve machine reliability and performance

MULTIVAC experience would be highly advantageous.

About You

We're looking for a genuinely multi-skilled engineer with a strong practical approach.

You'll ideally have:

Strong electrical and mechanical maintenance experience

Experience within manufacturing, food production, packaging or a similar high-volume environment

Good fault-finding and diagnostic skills

Experience working on production machinery

The ability to work across both production equipment and site services

A proactive approach to preventative maintenance and continuous improvement

Relevant engineering qualifications such as NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds or equivalent

You don't necessarily need to be an expert in every discipline. We're more interested in someone who can fault-find, think for themselves and get things running again.

What's on Offer

Circa £55,000 salary

Flexible shift arrangements

Permanent position with an established food manufacturer

Varied, hands-on engineering environment

Opportunity to work on high-volume automated production equipment

Genuine responsibility and autonomy within the engineering team

The Opportunity

This is a great opportunity for a local Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer looking to join an established operation in the Haverhill area.

If you enjoy fault-finding, fixing problems and keeping production moving, this could be an excellent fit
