Job Description
Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer Leading food manufacturer · Trafford Park, Manchester · Continental shift £57,679 + 5% bonus
If you're the kind of engineer who hates standing still — who'd rather be diagnosing a fault, improving a process, or mentoring the next generation of engineers than watching the clock — this role was built for you.
You'll be a key part of the maintenance team at a high-output food manufacturing site in Trafford Park, keeping production running smoothly and pushing the site's performance forward. This isn't a purely reactive role: you'll have real scope to identify inefficiencies, drive improvements, and make your mark on OEE.
What you'll be doing
* Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and responding to breakdowns to keep production moving
* Diagnosing and resolving mechanical, electrical, and automation faults quickly and accurately
* Identifying process improvements and putting them into practice through change management
* Supporting and coaching colleagues — sharing your knowledge and raising the team's capability
* Working to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards on a AA BRC-rated site
What we're looking for
* Time-served apprentice-trained engineer with an ONC, BTEC, or equivalent (HNC a bonus)
* Strong hands-on skills across mechanical, electrical, and automation systems
* Experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment — food or FMCG preferred
* Familiarity with highly regulated or audited sites (BRC, ISO, or similar)
* A sharp analytical mind and the confidence to make decisions under pressure
The package
* £57,679 base salary + 5% annual bonus
* Continental shift — 2 days, 2 nights, 4 off
* 22 days holiday
* Pension up to 10%, life assurance 4×, BUPA healthcare
* EV salary sacrifice scheme with free onsite charging
* Staff discounts worth up to £3k per year
* Cycle to work scheme
