Job Description

Maintenance Engineer (Food Manufacturing) £39,500 - £48,000 - Milton Keynes 4 on 4 off Continental Shift Pattern (Days & Nights)

Why this role

This is a maintenance engineering role inside a high-volume food manufacturing site where equipment uptime isn't a KPI for fun, it is the entire job.

You'll be working on a 24/7 production environment where mechanical systems, conveyors, packaging lines and processing equipment need to run reliably across a rotating shift pattern. When they don't, you'll be the one getting them back online.

It's hands-on, fast-paced, and very much about practical engineering over theory.

Team bonus scheme (up to 6%)
7% employer pension contribution (3% employee)
Private health plan (Westfield Health)
Life assurance (up to 4x salary)
Income protection scheme
Company sick pay
Training and development opportunities

Key responsibilities

Carry out mechanical fault finding and reactive maintenance on production equipment
Support planned preventative maintenance schedules across site
Participate in equipment installation, commissioning and testing for new production lines
Diagnose root causes of breakdowns and implement effective fixes
Work closely with production teams to reduce downtime and improve reliability
Record maintenance activity and manage spare parts through internal systems
Ensure all work complies with health, safety, food safety and hygiene standards
Provide maintenance support across different production lines when required

About you

Mechanical engineering experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment
Strong hands-on ability with machinery, tools and mechanical systems
Comfortable working in a fast-moving production environment
Good fault-finding and problem-solving skills
Able to communicate clearly across shifts and teams
Electrical knowledge, IPAF or forklift licence beneficial but not essential
