We're working with a well-established food manufacturer in Hull, known for their high standards, friendly culture, and investment in their people. They’re looking for a skilled Mechanical Maintenance Engineer to support their continued growth and focus on reliability and performance.
The Opportunity
This is a hands-on engineering role with real impact. You’ll be joining a close-knit maintenance team in a busy food production environment, where your mechanical expertise will help reduce downtime and improve equipment performance. You’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality PPM work, reacting quickly to faults, and using your problem-solving ability to get to the root of issues and not just patching them up.
