The Opportunity
At Kettleby Foods, we are looking for a People-focused Maintenance Manager to support the team in structured development and progression. We seek someone who can motivate, encourage, and role model the right behaviors to our engineering talent of the future. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you will play a key role in optimizing team performance to keep production running efficiently, find better ways of working, and develop long-term solutions rather than quick fixes.
Key Responsibilities
* Ensure a safe working culture and maintain the highest safety standards for the team.
* Manage, motivate, and develop the engineering team, ensuring resources are in place for effective service delivery.
* Collaborate with the Engineering Manager to develop the site engineering strategy aligned with business goals.
* Support contractor management, ensuring adherence to standards and legal requirements, and fostering learning opportunities from contractors.
* Monitor KPIs and budgets to evaluate team success in providing efficient and effective services.
The Ideal Candidate
We value collaboration and diverse perspectives. The successful candidate will possess the following skills and experience:
* IOSH Managing Safely or equivalent qualification
* HNC/HND or equivalent in Engineering
* Manufacturing experience in a supervisory role; food industry experience is a plus but not essential
* Experience with CMMS systems and proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Email
* Strong numeracy skills for budget monitoring
We encourage a thriving, inclusive work culture where personal accountability and pride in work are valued. Building positive communication and strong collaborative relationships are essential to every role.
