⚡ Electrical Engineer (Food Manufacturing)
📍 Wigan | 💷 Up to £42,000 | Permanent | Site-based
If you're an Electrical Engineer who loves a proper fault-find, keeps calm during breakdowns, and gets a genuine buzz out of keeping machinery uptime high… I've got a great one for you.
I'm recruiting for an Electrical Engineer role at a busy food manufacturing site in Wigan. You'll report into the Engineering Manager and play a key part in keeping production running smoothly through a mix of reactive maintenance, PPM, and improvements across plant machinery, utilities and site services.
This is an electrically biased role, but they do want someone who's happy to get involved in the basic mechanical side too when needed.
💷 The package
* Salary: up to £42,000
* Permanent role
* Site-based in Wigan
What you'll be doing

* Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) across plant and equipment
* Electrical maintenance across machinery, buildings, services and utilities
* Fault-finding and repairs (including PLC-related work)
* Identifying improvements and helping implement fixes
* Occasional installation work, but mainly focused on maintenance and uptime
Food manufacturing environment, so H&S, hygiene and food safety are taken seriously (and you'll be backed with the right processes and standards).
Must haves ✅
* Electrical apprenticeship served (essential)
* Strong manufacturing maintenance background
* Confident with reactive + planned maintenance
Nice to haves 🌟
