A market-leading food manufacturer in the Sheffield area is looking for an Engineering Team Leader / Supervisor to take ownership of engineering performance within a fast-paced production environment.
This is a role for someone who enjoys leading engineers, setting standards, and staying close to the engineering function, while having the freedom to run their team without unnecessary interference.

The Role
You will:
Lead, coach, and develop a team of multi-skilled engineers

Prioritise breakdowns, PPMs, and resources in a high-volume environment
Set clear standards around safety, quality, and engineering best practice
Work closely with production to ensure safe, efficient operations
This role values strong engineering judgement as much as strong people leadership.
What They’re Looking For
Experience leading engineers in a manufacturing or production environment
A solid engineering background with the credibility to lead from the front
Strong people management skills - communication, accountability, and structure
Food manufacturing experience is ideal but not essential
Comfortable working at pace and making decisions under pressure

A well-invested site with ongoing improvement projects
A role where engineering leadership is valued and visible
