3 days ago

Westbury, Wiltshire, United Kingdom Arla Foods Full time

M&E Technician – Westbury
Are you an electrical or mechanical engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, highly automated environment - and ready to keep one of the UK's largest dairy sites running 24/7?

At Westbury you'll work with cutting-edge process and packing technology, solving problems at pace and driving continuous improvement that keeps our site safe, efficient and reliable.
How You Will Make An Impact
Based at our Westbury site (BA13 4WD) on continental rotating shifts (12-hour days and nights), you'll support a well-invested plant producing household favourites like Anchor butter and Arla milk powders. You'll carry out reactive, planned and preventive maintenance, using data and problem-solving tools to reduce downtime and improve performance.

  • Execute reactive, planned and preventative maintenance across processing, packing and utilities assets
  • Lead structured problem solving and continuous improvement to enhance OEE and minimise downtime
  • Use CMMS (SAP PM) and reporting suites to plan work, capture data and drive actions
  • Support site projects, including non-capex modifications and CAPEX installations and commissioning
  • Maintain and optimise a wide range of equipment (e.g. pasteurisation, homogenisers, separators, evaporators, dryers, fillers, palletisers, conveyors, robots, vision/X-ray systems, HVAC, boilers, chillers, compressors, CHP)

This is a permanent position within the Site Engineering team at Arla Westbury, reporting to the Engineering Manager.

What Will Make You Successful
you will bring a time-served apprenticeship or NVQ Level 3/ONC/HNC/HND (or proven equivalent experience), along with your background as a multiskilled maintenance or engineering technician, whether in mechanical or electrical disciplines.

You will have experience working in fast-paced, automated, and safety-critical manufacturing environments, ideally within FMCG, and you will be computer literate, confident using SAP and Microsoft Office, and familiar with SCADA, HMIs, and Trend systems.

Personally, you will be ambitious and driven, taking a proactive approach to learning and continuous improvement; you will demonstrate strong problem-solving skills, approaching challenges methodically and analytically, and remaining calm under pressure.

You will be a team-focused communicator, prioritising safety and keeping stakeholders informed with clear updates. As part of our supportive team, you will experience a steep learning curve, face meaningful challenges, and benefit from colleagues who are eager to help you succeed and make you feel welcome.

  • 26.5 days holiday
  • Employer pension matched up to 6%
  • 4× annual salary life assurance cover
