Are you an engineer who thrives on keeping things running smoothly — with a sharp eye on reliability, compliance, and performance?
If you’re the kind of person who brings structure, order, and a problem-solving mindset to every shift, this could be your next move.
In this role, you’ll be the go-to for root cause analysis, continuous improvement, and delivering real, practical solutions that make a difference on the shop floor. Your impact will be felt across both engineering and operations.
Whether you’re already in the FMCG or food production space, or come from another fast-paced environment, this role offers a step up, especially if you’re ready to lead or have already taken on some team leadership.
What you’ll be doing:
* Keeping lines running smoothly by monitoring equipment performance and spotting opportunities to cut downtime.
* Putting smart, structured maintenance plans in place to keep machinery in top shape
* Using root cause analysis to dig into breakdowns and downtime, uncovering trends and driving real improvements.
* Taking a detailed, data-driven approach to tracking and improving equipment reliability.
* Making sure the CMMS is up to date and used effectively — so issues are logged, tracked, and acted on.
* Leading and developing a direct report, supporting their growth and performance.
* Ensuring all engineering work meets high standards for food safety, health & safety, and compliance.
* Staying ahead of spare parts and inventory needs, so you’re never caught out.
* Collaborating closely with production teams to fix problems fast and keep operations moving.
What will you have covered in your background for this role?
* Engineering experience in food manufacturing, FMCG, or a similarly fast-moving environment.
* Some hands-on leadership or supervisory experience, or are you ready to take that next step.
* Strong knowledge of maintenance routines, compliance expectations, and safety practices.
* Someone practical, solutions-focused, and grounded, able to roll up their sleeves when needed.
* A great team player who leads by example and works well across departments.
* Ideally electrically biased but not essential. If you have a mechanical background training can be provided.
* Confident using CMMS systems and comfortable with a reliability-led approach.
* A full UK driving licence.
