Job Description
Engineering Technician – Level 3+
Ocado Logistics – Tamworth
Permanent – Competitive Salary on offer
About The Role
We wouldn’t be able to positively impact the way the world shops without our passionate team members – who keep our business running, our vans delivering, our customers’ products picked and packed and our proprietary technology operating at optimum levels. Both behind the scenes within the warehouses and across the front end of the customer experience, we now have an opportunity for an Engineering Technician to join the team.
We’re looking for an experienced, hands‑on Engineering Shift Technician to join our Engineering Operations team at CFC Dordon. This is a fast‑paced, automated environment where every day brings a new challenge and your ability to react quickly, think on your feet and adapt will make a real difference. You’ll be at the heart of a 24/7 operation, working closely with Inbound, Outbound and wider support teams to keep our facility and MHE automation performing at their best. This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, thrives under pressure and takes pride in being reactive, dynamic and solutions‑focused. The role operates on a Panama shift pattern, offering a competitive salary and benefits package.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Carrying out reactive and planned maintenance across the site in a busy, ever‑changing environment
- Rapidly diagnosing equipment breakdowns and carrying out effective repairs to restore operations
- Responding to live issues as they arise
- Working cross‑functionally to identify opportunities to improve machine reliability on existing and new equipment
- Analysing performance data to identify trends and deliver practical solutions that improve MHE performance
- Attending training sessions to continuously develop your technical capability
- Keeping accurate records of maintenance activity, parts usage, training and repairs using computerised systems
- Working safely at all times and proactively raising any health & safety concerns with line management
About You
- Electrical or mechanical engineering experience, ideally within an FMCG or automated logistics environment
- NVQ 3 apprenticeship or equivalent
- A natural problem‑solving mindset, with the ability to analyse faults and implement effective solutions
- Strong technical capability across automation hardware and software
- Experience of both reactive and preventative maintenance
- An organised, reliable team player with excellent communication skills
- Confidence using computerised maintenance systems for jam reports and maintenance logs
- A strong commitment to working safely and maintaining high H&S standards
- English language skills equivalent to B1 CEFR or above
- While full training will be provided during your first three weeks, prior experience in an automated warehouse or logistics environment would be an advantage
