Days-Based Engineer – Food Manufacturing (Permanent, Full-Time) Location: Somewhere that smells faintly of stainless steel and success Salary: Enough to make the night shift jealous You’ve seen these ads before. The ones that promise “a dynamic working environment” and “competitive salary,” written by someone who probably thinks a gearbox is a Spotify playlist. Let’s skip that bit. I’m recruiting on behalf of a well-established food manufacturer; the kind that’s been around long enough to know what it’s doing, but still improving things rather than coasting. They make proper products you’ll actually recognise in the supermarket, not obscure ingredients buried in the small print. Right now, they’re looking for a Days-Based Engineer to join the team and keep the lines running smoothly. What you’ll actually be doing: Keeping the machines running, because downtime makes everyone miserable. Fixing things properly, not with duct tape and prayer. Doing preventative maintenance, so you’re not constantly firefighting. Working with production people who’ll appreciate you for keeping them sane. What they’re looking for: A qualified engineer – mechanical, electrical, or both. Someone who’s happiest with a spanner in hand and a problem to solve. Someone who doesn’t need three meetings to decide to turn the power off. A sense of humour, because it’s still manufacturing. What’s in it for you: A proper days-based role; no night shifts, no callouts at stupid o’clock. A stable, supportive team that actually values what engineers do. Decent pay, solid benefits, and proper development opportunities. Oh, and free food, because, well… they make food. If you’re an engineer who’s fed up with being the department of last resort, this is your chance to join somewhere that actually values maintenance before meltdown.
