Northampton, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom Food Recruit Full time

Maintenance Engineer – 6-Month FTC

Northamptonshire

£56,607

4 on 4 off (2 days and 2 nights)


Let’s cut to the chase. You’re a hands-on, problem-solving Maintenance Engineer who knows how to keep machines running and breakdowns at bay. If you’re looking for a job where you’ll be sitting in an office all day, this isn’t it.

The site is a 24/7, highly automated operation. Things move fast there; keeping production running smoothly is no small task. That’s where you come in.


What you’ll be doing:

  • Positive can-do attitude. A go-getter who is always looking to improve how things are done.
  • Keeping machinery and equipment in tip-top shape.
  • Handling breakdowns like a pro—quickly, calmly, and efficiently.
  • Getting stuck into fault-finding and general maintenance (strip-downs, inspections, repairs).
  • Carrying out planned preventive maintenance (PPM) with precision.
  • Always thinking ahead—stocking parts and looking for ways to improve processes.
  • Making sure health, safety, and cleanliness standards are never compromised.


What we’re looking for:

  • HNC/HND or a recognised apprenticeship in mechanical or electrical engineering.
  • A solid grasp of pneumatics and experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
  • Calm under pressure, adaptable, and ready to tackle whatever the day throws.
  • Detail-oriented with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • A team player who knows how to get things done and takes pride in their work.


This is a 6-month fixed-term contract with a chance of becoming permanent. We want to hear if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work.
