Deputy Shift Manager (Hands-On Multiskilled Engineer – Electrical Bias)
Permanent | Competitive Salary + Overtime | Excellent Benefits
Are you an experienced multiskilled engineer ready to step into a leadership role while staying hands-on? This position offers the perfect blend of technical responsibility and people leadership, working within a highly automated, high-performance engineering environment.
This is a fantastic opportunity to oversee a small team, mentor engineers, and take the lead on the most complex technical challenges—all while contributing directly to site reliability and continuous improvement.
The Role
As the Deputy Shift Manager, you will split your time between hands-on engineering (80%) and leadership (20%), ensuring your shift runs smoothly and safely. You will:
Lead, mentor and support engineers on your shift, encouraging high performance and skills development.
Delegate tasks effectively and take ownership of complex breakdowns and technical work.
Deliver planned preventative maintenance in line with scheduled requirements.
Respond to reactive maintenance, diagnosing and rectifying faults efficiently within agreed timeframes.
Identify opportunities to improve reliability, reduce breakdowns and support a long-term “zero breakdown” culture.
Work with a variety of automated machinery, conveyor systems, cranes and sortation equipment.
Ensure all activities are completed safely, efficiently, and to the required quality standards.
Complete all work orders and updates via electronic systems.
Collaborate with production, facilities and engineering leadership to keep operations running seamlessly.
What We’re Looking For
Multiskilled engineer with a strong electrical bias.
Experience in a lead/mentoring position (Lead Engineer / Senior Engineer / Deputy).
Background in factories, industrial environments or forces engineering.
Level 3 engineering qualification or higher.
Comfortable working with automated equipment, conveyors, and mechanical systems.
Able to work independently, take ownership and motivate others.
Strong problem-solving skills and a calm approach under pressure.
Full right to work in the UK (no visa sponsorship available).
What’s On Offer
Competitive salary + overtime opportunities (£1,000–£2,000 typical annually).
Standard pension scheme.
Structured shift pattern offering work/life balance.
Opportunity to step into a leadership position with excellent progression potential.
Exposure to a state-of-the-art, fully automated technical environment
