About the Role
In every role, McCainers are ambitious, curious, and interested in helping each other create good work experiences. We think about the customer and make doing business with McCain easy.

This role is a hybrid role between Engineering and Operations. You work with both teams to ensure efficient running of the assets, ensuring optimum plant efficiency to deliver the quality and quantity to make us one of the UK’s favourite food products.
We are go‑getters with big plans. Whilst we expect machines will break down once in a while, we believe prevention is better than the cure.

Continuous improvement and reliability will play a huge part in your role.
