Engineering Manager - Food Manufacturing
We’re recruiting for an Engineering Manager for a high-volume, 24/7 food manufacturing operation running and supplying all major UK retailers.
It’s fast, demanding, and highly accountable. We need leaders who thrive in that.
What you’ll be doing:
* Leading teams of 8–10 engineers
* Driving uptime, performance, and engineering standards
* Managing within a 4 on 4 off days pattern (typically 7 am - 7 pm)
* Stepping up when needed, late stays, and operational support
This is a management role, not on the tools. You’ll need to build strong teams, hold standards, and deliver in a high-pressure environment.
Ideal background:
* Large-scale food manufacturing
* Used to volume, pace, and retailer expectations
* Resilient, decisive, and hands-on in leadership style
Slow-paced environments won’t translate here. This suits someone who enjoys intensity and operational responsibility.
Package:
* £ DOE
* Discretionary bonus (pre-Christmas)
* 31 days holiday
* 3% employer pension
* 1–2 stage on-site process
* Quick turnaround on offers
