Overview
Electrical Maintenance Supervisor — Cullompton, Devon. Monday to Friday, days (flexible hours). Circa £47,500 - £49,500. No nights | Work-life balance | Real influence on site.
We’re working with a long-established manufacturing business based near Tiverton within a continuous process environment. This is a smaller, close-knit site with a strong team culture, offering a more relaxed and flexible working environment compared to larger FMCG operations.
This is an opportunity for an electrically biased engineer to step into a supervisory role, leading a small team while still remaining hands-on, with genuine scope to influence how engineering is run on site.
The role
You'll be responsible for supporting a team of 5 electrical engineers within a wider maintenance team of 12.
This is a days-based role (Monday to Friday) with flexibility around start and finish times, giving you the ability to work around life outside of work.
Key responsibilities include:
* Leading day-to-day electrical maintenance activities across site
* Supporting both reactive and planned maintenance (PPM)
* Fault finding on electrical systems and supporting the wider team
* Coordinating contractors and overseeing work on site
* Supporting small projects, installations and plant improvements
* Contributing to maintenance planning and improving reliability
The role is hands-on but also gives you the platform to take ownership and shape engineering standards on site.
Machinery & Environment
* Continuous process machinery (paper machines, rollers, conveyors)
* 3-phase systems, motors, drives, panels and control systems
* PLC-controlled equipment (fault finding level)
* Mix of legacy and newer plant
* General site services and infrastructure
What they're looking for
* Electrically biased maintenance engineer
* Experience within manufacturing, process or industrial environments
* Confident fault finding on 3-phase systems, drives, panels and controls
* Previous leadership experience or someone ready to step up
* Comfortable supporting a team while remaining hands-on
* Practical, proactive and able to work with autonomy
What’s on offer
* circa £47,000 salary (depending on experience)
* Monday to Friday, days role - no nights
* Flexible working hours (early or later starts available)
* 1 in 4 callout - very rare and typically phone support only
* Strong work-life balance compared to shift roles
* Opportunity to step into leadership and influence the site
* Stable, long-standing business with a supportive team culture
This role would suit an electrically biased engineer looking to move away from shifts, step into a leadership position, and have real input into how a site is run.
