Join the family at Heck Food!
At Heck, we do things differently. We’re passionate about making great-tasting, high-quality food, and we bring that same energy and commitment into everything we do – including how we maintain and develop our world-class production facility.
We’re now looking for a Maintenance Engineer to join our growing engineering team. This is an exciting opportunity for a hands-on, proactive individual who wants to make an immediate impact in a fast-paced, food manufacturing environment.
What you’ll be doing:
• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) across a wide range of food production equipment.
• Responding quickly and effectively to machinery breakdowns to minimize downtime.
• Working closely with production teams to ensure all machinery operates at peak performance.
• Supporting and implementing continuous improvement initiatives.
• Ensuring all engineering work is carried out safely and to the highest standard, following health and safety and food safety guidelines.
• Assisting in installations, commissioning of new equipment, and factory development projects.
What we’re looking for:
• Previous experience in a maintenance engineering role, ideally within the food manufacturing or FMCG sector.
• A solid understanding of mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems.
• Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills.
• A proactive, can-do attitude with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
• Flexibility to work shifts and support the business as needed.
• Relevant engineering qualifications (e.g., NVQ Level 3, HNC/HND, or equivalent) are desirable but not essential if you have strong practical experience.
What we offer:
• The chance to be part of a dynamic, family-run business with big ambitions.
• Ongoing training and development opportunities.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• A supportive team culture where your ideas and contributions are genuinely valued.
