Shift Engineer

The short version

Multi-skilled engineer. 4 days on, 4 days off. You run engineering on your shift, nobody runs it for you. Industrial laundry for a well-established luxury linen business that’s part of a PLC group.

What you’ll actually be doing

• Running engineering on your shift. Production comes to you, you make the call, and the problem stays yours until it’s fixed or properly handed over
• Fault-finding and repairing mechanical, electrical, pneumatic and control faults on washers, dryers, feeders, ironers, folders, conveyors and automated handling kit
• Delivering PPM to schedule and logging everything on the CMMS
• Getting to the root cause of repeat failures so the same fix isn’t needed every Tuesday
• Writing proper handovers. Not “machine 4 playing up again” but a handover the next engineer can actually pick up and run with
• Keeping contractors, isolations, permits and PUWER/LOLER/COSHH compliance in order

What you’ll need

• Time-served (or equivalent) mechanical, electrical or multi-skilled engineer
• Solid fault-finding across mechanical, electrical, pneumatic and controls
• A background in manufacturing, processing, FMCG or another fast-paced production environment
• Comfortable working with limited supervision and owning the decisions you make
• Clear communication, written and verbal

Nice to have

• HNC/HND in a mechanical, electrical or related discipline
• 18th Edition, IOSH, NEBOSH or PUWER
• Industrial laundry or automated production machinery experience (not essential if your fault-finding is sharp)
