Maintenance & Compliance Manager
Location: North Walsham
Salary: £62,500 + Package
Days (37.5 hours)
This is not a maintenance manager role where you inherit a well-oiled machine.
This is a role where you build it, shape it, and own it.
Sitting on the Senior Leadership Team, you’ll take full accountability for engineering standards, asset care, and compliance across a complex, high-volume manufacturing site — with the autonomy to raise the bar and leave a legacy.
Why this role stands out
* True ownership – you define the maintenance strategy, not just execute it
* SLT influence – a seat at the table with real decision-making authority
* Build & shape a function – develop structure, capability, and standards
* Balance of strategy + hands-on credibility – not a desk-only leadership role
* Long-term impact – asset reliability, compliance, and culture sit with you
What you’ll be accountable for: Maintenance & Compliance Manager
You’ll lead the entire engineering and asset care function, with responsibility for both people and performance.
* Own and deliver the site-wide Asset Care strategy
* Set and enforce engineering standards, compliance, and safe systems of work
* Lead HSE performance with a zero-accident mindset
* Drive a data-led maintenance culture through CMMS and KPI ownership
* Take full ownership of engineering compliance, audits, and statutory requirements
* Lead CAPEX, projects, and installation of new production capability
* Manage and develop a multi-layer engineering team, including:
* Shift Asset Care Technicians
* Compliance Team Leader
* Project Engineer
* Process Engineering capability
* Control maintenance budgets, spend, and long-term asset planning
* Partner closely with operations, planning, finance, and senior stakeholders
What we’re looking for: Maintenance & Compliance Manager
This role needs more than a good maintenance manager — it needs a leader who can set direction and hold standards.
* Proven experience in a senior maintenance or engineering leadership role
* Strong background in manufacturing or industrial environments
* Deep understanding of engineering compliance, audits, and statutory requirements
* Experience leading multi-disciplinary teams through structure and change
* Solid technical foundation (mechanical, electrical, or both)
* Track record of delivering projects, CAPEX, and continuous improvement
* Able to operate confidently at senior leadership level
What’s on offer
* £62,500 salary
* 33 days holiday
* 6% pension
* Private medical (including dental)
* Death in service (2x salary)
But more importantly:
A role with real ownership, visibility, and progression potential
The reality of the role
This is a site with opportunity — not perfection.
If you’re motivated by:
Raising standards
Building teams
Creating structure where it’s needed
Leaving a lasting impact
You’ll thrive here.
If you’re looking for:
A steady-state environment
Minimal challenge
Or a purely strategic role without hands-on leadership
This won’t be the right fit.
