Talent Acquisition Partner - Commercial at Reach Plc

Who are we?

We’re Reach, home to some of the UK and Ireland’s most iconic media brands – think the Mirror, Daily Express, OK!, as well as regional titles like the Birmingham Post, Liverpool Echo, and Manchester Evening News. With a readership of 47 million people each month, we’re the largest commercial publisher in the UK.

But we’re more than just our brands – we’re a company built on collaboration, imagination, and determination. Our values shape the work we do every day, and we’re committed to creating an environment where everyone feels supported, valued, and able to grow. We prioritise flexibility and work-life balance, making it easier for you to thrive both in and outside of work.

Job Description

Are you a seasoned Maintenance Engineer seeking to enhance your career?

As a qualified Maintenance Engineer, you will be an integral part of our team, specialising in Mechanical or Electrical engineering. Your journey with us will begin with a comprehensive technical training to familiarise yourself with our unique Printing Equipment. Our operations run 24/7, hence we offer a 4 on, 4 off shift pattern.

Your role will evolve as you progress, leading you to champion improvement projects that aim to enhance both productivity and effectiveness of our department. A robust hands-on approach in mechanical and electrical engineering is paramount. We're in search of a professional who's not only motivated but also enthusiastic about continuous learning.

Leading and managing CI projects will be a core part of your responsibilities, with an emphasis on timely execution and achieving measurable impacts. You'll also champion Kaizen initiatives, fostering a culture of continuous improvement within the team.

Conducting structured root cause analysis will help you identify and eliminate inefficiencies, and your focus on preventative maintenance will play a key role in improving efficiencies through hands-on involvement.

Qualifications

We're seeking someone with keen attention to detail who is self-motivated, adaptable, and eager to learn and grow. The role will involve shift work, including nights and weekends, so flexibility is important.

You should be technically adept at repairing and maintaining complex manufacturing machinery. Gaining proficiency in fault-finding on our bespoke equipment will involve collaborating closely with other technicians to understand all facets of Engineering.

Experience: Previous experience as a shift-based engineer in a manufacturing environment is required. Ideally, candidates will have experience as an engineer within a printing or FMCG environment.

Essential Qualification: Must be a certified Maintenance Engineer with substantial hands-on experience in an FMCG environment.

Educational Background: Completion of an engineering apprenticeship is required, along with at least an HNC qualification (Mechanical or Electrical).

Practical Experience: Proven expertise in fault finding within a production setting is necessary

What can we offer you?

We're offering a salary £58,000 to £65,000 (depending on experience) and a range of fantastic benefits to help support you both personally and professionally. These include:

* Help saving for your retirement - join our pension scheme and we’ll match contributions up to 6%
* 7 Weeks holiday per year when you join. After three, five and ten years’ service with Reach, you’ll accrue one additional day of annual leave. We also have a Holiday Purchase Scheme
* Giving back day - an additional day’s leave each year to support a cause close to your heart
* Enhanced family leave - including maternity, paternity and adoption - and you’ll be eligible after just six months’ employment
* Private Healthcare Cash Plan - free health cash plan so you can claim back cash for a range of medical expenses
* Wellbeing support - including a 24/7 employee assistance programme (EAP) for you and your nearest and dearest
* Awesome career opportunities - you’ll have support from your line manager and a range of learning & development programmes

Reach plc believes diversity brings benefits for our customers, our business and our people. This is why we are committed to being an inclusive employer and encourage applications from all suitable applicants irrespective of background, circumstances, age, disability, gender identity, ethnicity, religion or belief and sexual orientation.
