This is a practical, hands-on role within a high-volume, 24/7 manufacturing environment, carrying out electrical and mechanical maintenance to support site performance, reduce downtime and improve equipment reliability.

- Work with Production to improve equipment performance and minimise disruption.
- Support engineering projects and ongoing continuous improvement initiatives.
- Record maintenance work accurately using the site's CMMS.
- Follow all relevant health, safety, environmental and quality procedures.
- Work collaboratively with the wider Engineering team to support day-to-day site operations.
What We're Looking For
- Apprentice-trained Engineer with a relevant engineering qualification.
- Previous experience in a Multi Skilled Engineer, Maintenance Engineer or similar position.
- Strong electrical and mechanical maintenance and fault-finding capabilities.
- Background working within a manufacturing or industrial environment.
- Good knowledge of machinery, control systems and PLCs.
- Experience in FMCG, food, beverage or process manufacturing would be beneficial.
- Familiarity with CMMS systems or SAP would be an advantage.
- A practical, proactive approach to troubleshooting and improving equipment performance.
- Comfortable working independently while contributing to a wider engineering team.
