This role sits inside an engineering-led business focused on horticulture and vertical farming systems, where controlled environments, automation and reliability are critical to production performance.
The purpose of the role is simple: take ownership of the day-to-day engineering coordination and administration so the engineering team can focus on maintaining and improving systems rather than chasing information.
You'll need enough engineering awareness to understand how maintenance activity flows through a live operational environment, and the judgement to know what needs attention, what needs escalation, and what cannot be left to drift.
What you'll be doing
Managing day-to-day engineering administration and live job tracking
Coordinating engineering workload and supporting maintenance planning activity
Maintaining accurate engineering stores and stock control processes
Keeping CMMS/live systems updated with accurate, usable information
Supporting scheduling and organisation of engineering activity
Acting as a central point for engineering communication and coordination
Ensuring data, records and job information are complete and reliable
Supporting the engineering team with structured operational organisationWhat we're looking for
Engineering background in horticulture, agriculture, food production or similar environment
Understanding of maintenance processes within a live operational setting
Comfortable working with CMMS, planning tools and engineering data systems
Strong organisational skills with genuine ownership of workload
Ability to prioritise and manage multiple moving parts
Practical engineering mindset rather than purely administrative approach
Confident working closely with engineers, technicians and operations teams
The reality of the role
This is not a passive coordination role.
In a controlled growing environment, reliability, timing and system accuracy directly impact production outcomes. xsngvjr If information is wrong or late, the engineering response is wrong or late as well.
The role suits someone who understands how engineering supports a living system, and who naturally brings structure, clarity and control to fast-moving operational environments
