Multi-Skilled Engineer (Nights)
Location: Bishops Stortford
Shift: 4 on / 4 off 7pm to 7am
Permanent Role
If youre an experienced Multi-Skilled Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced production environment, this is a role where youll genuinely make an impact.
This isnt just about keeping machines running. Its about driving performance, improving reliability, and playing a key role in how a modern manufacturing site operates.
The Opportunity
Youll be part of a highly capable engineering team responsible for maintaining and improving a busy FMCG production site. Working nights, youll take ownership of breakdown response, planned maintenance, and continuous improvement activities.
Youll be trusted to work with autonomy, solve problems quickly, and contribute to overall site performance.
What Youll Be Doing
Responding to breakdowns quickly and effectively to minimise downtime
Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) with a proactive mindset
Diagnosing faults across electrical and mechanical systems
Supporting continuous improvement initiatives across machinery and site performance
Driving plant uptime and contributing to OEE improvements
Completing repairs during production in a safe and efficient manner
Maintaining accurate engineering logs and work orders
Supporting contractor activity and liaising with external suppliers
Ensuring compliance with health & safety, GMP, and hygiene standards
Working closely with production teams to maintain strong communication and performance
What Were Looking For
Minimum 3 years experience in an FMCG or food production environment
Multi-skilled engineer with an NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in engineering
Completed engineering apprenticeship
Electrical qualification (16th or 17th Edition minimum)
Strong fault-finding and breakdown analysis capability
Experience working in fast-paced production environments
Comfortable working independently on nights
Strong communication skills and a team-focused approach
Experience with CMMS systems and general IT literacy
Food, chilled, or frozen environment experience is highly desirable
What Makes This Role Stand Out
Genuine autonomy on shift trusted to make decisions
A site that values engineering input, not just reactive maintenance
Opportunity to drive improvements, not just maintain status quo
Strong collaboration between engineering and production
A business committed to continuous improvement and investment
The Fit
This role suits an engineer who:
Takes ownership and responsibility on shift
Enjoys problem-solving under pressure
Wants to be part of a team that improves, not just reacts
Is proactive, practical, and driven to make things better
