Engineering Team Leader – Rotating Shifts | Food Manufacturer | Lead the Team, Don’t Babysit It
Yes, it’s a rotating shift pattern. Days and nights. If that’s a dealbreaker, fair enough — no hard feelings. But if you’re still with me, this might be the kind of role you’ve been waiting for.
This is a proper Engineering Team Leader position in a food manufacturing site that’s busy, growing, and investing. It’s not a place where you’ll be fighting the same breakdowns every day because no one wants to spend money — they’re actually doing something about it.
You’ll lead a small, solid team of engineers who know what they’re doing. They don’t need a babysitter. What they do need is a leader — someone who can set the tone, get stuck in when needed, and keep things running without shouting or sulking.
What you’ll be doing:
Leading the shift team through the usual mix of planned and reactive work
Keeping breakdowns under control without losing your head over them
Supporting continuous improvement and project work (yes, that’s actually happening)
Handovers that aren’t a mystery novel — you’ll give and get clarity from other shifts
Being the grown-up in the room when things go sideways
What you’ll need:
Strong engineering background – electrical, mechanical, or both
Experience leading teams in an FMCG or food environment
A calm head, thick skin, and a sense of humour wouldn’t hurt
Willing to rotate between days and nights
What you’ll get:
A team that works hard and backs each other
A business that invests in its kit and its people
A chance to lead without drowning in admin or office politics
Competitive salary and benefits (they’re not stingy)
If you want a nice quiet job with a desk, a plant, and a coffee machine that works — this probably isn’t it.
But if you want a real leadership role where you can actually get stuck in and make a difference, this one’s worth a look
