Fancy a Role That Keeps the Gears Turning?

This isn’t your average Maintenance Engineer position. You’ll be stepping into the fast-paced world of food production, where every decision you make helps ensure products reach tables across the nation. If you're a hands-on problem-solver with an eye for improvement, read on.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Inspecting, fixing, and fine-tuning equipment to ensure peak performance.
  • Working closely with the production team to keep things moving seamlessly.
  • Identifying and implementing ways to improve processes – because there’s always room to be better.
  • Staying ahead of compliance, from Health & Safety regulations to food safety standards.
  • Supporting sustainability goals by reducing waste and improving energy efficiency.


What We’re Looking For:

  • NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering – you’ve got the credentials to back up your skills.
  • Previous experience in food manufacturing or consumer goods – you know your way around a fast-moving production line.
  • A solid understanding of HACCP, PUWER, and similar standards.
  • Hands-on experience with AC/DC drives and interpreting schematic diagrams.
  • A can-do attitude, with the ability to think on your feet and solve problems under pressure.


Why Join?

You’ll be part of a growing team at the forefront of innovation in food production. With a strong focus on sustainability and cutting-edge tech, this is a chance to build your career while making a real impact. Expect a competitive salary, development opportunities, and the chance to be part of something bigger.
