Shift Engineer (Electrical Bias) – £51,000 – Lichfield
Panama Shift Pattern – 12-hour days & nights, rotating
If you like the idea of keeping a factory full of shiny new kit running – and don’t mind occasionally swearing at it when it stops – read on.
This is an electrical bias role, but you’ll still need to get your hands dirty with the mechanical side. It’s a mix of planned maintenance and “it’s just broken, fix it now” moments. The good news? You’ll be working in a site that’s had serious investment in equipment and technology, so you won’t be spending all day coaxing antiques back to life.
The work:
Keep production equipment running.
Fix breakdowns quickly (downtime is expensive and nobody likes it).
Do the planned maintenance that stops things breaking in the first place.
Help with start-ups, testing, and fine-tuning.
Log everything properly so nobody’s guessing what happened.
What you’ll need:
An NVQ Level 3 or City & Guilds Level 3 in Engineering (or equivalent apprenticeship).
Strong electrical skills, with decent mechanical knowledge too.
Manufacturing experience – food is a bonus, not a deal-breaker.
A proactive, safety-first approach.
What’s in it for you:
£51k salary.
23 days’ holiday (goes up with service) + buy more if you want.
Free staff transport from Lichfield, Burton, Cannock, Rugeley & Burntwood.
Life Assurance – 3x salary.
24/7 access to GP, mental health support, and legal advice.
Tailored training & development – because getting better at your job should be part of the job.
Discounts, gym/bike schemes, recognition awards… the usual perks.
