Maintenance Engineer
This is a hands-on engineering role within a high-volume, fast-moving manufacturing environment where reliability, responsiveness, and continuous improvement really matter.
You’ll be working as part of a close-knit engineering team, supporting production through a mix of planned, reactive, and improvement-focused maintenance. The site is well-established, but not standing still — there’s ongoing investment, evolving processes, and genuine scope to influence how things are done.
What kind of engineer are we open to?
We’re deliberately broad on background. If you’re a maintenance engineer who enjoys fault-finding, problem-solving, and getting stuck in, this could be worth exploring.
Engineers typically come from:
Manufacturing or FMCG
Automotive or heavy industry
Armed forces or engineering services
You’ll likely have:
Completed a recognised engineering apprenticeship
Strong mechanical and electrical fault-finding skills
The ability to read and interpret drawings and schematics
A practical, hands-on approach on shift
Additional qualifications (HNC, IOSH/NEBOSH, CI tools, automation exposure) are useful, but not essential — what matters most is attitude, capability, and how you approach problems.
What does the role involve?
That depends partly on you — but typically includes:
Planned and reactive maintenance across a varied site
Diagnosing and resolving electrical, mechanical, and control faults
Preventative and condition-based maintenance
Contributing to reliability and improvement initiatives
Supporting automation and controls when required
There’s scope here to get involved beyond “fixing breakdowns” — but how far that goes is a conversation.
What’s on offer?
Long-term career development and progression opportunities
A strong benefits package including bonus, pension, life assurance, and generous annual leave
A stable, well-run site with a supportive engineering culture
If you’re reading this and thinking “I’d like to know what the kit is, how the team’s set up, and where this role could take me” — that’s exactly the point.
