Why this role exists

This site runs at serious volume. When it runs well, nobody notices. When it doesn't, everyone notices immediately.

That's where you come in.

You'll be part of the engineering team that keeps production moving, fixes issues properly, and prevents repeat failures rather than firefighting the same problems every week.

If you like seeing the impact of your work in real time, you won't be bored here.

The site

This is one of the UK's leading party food production sites - bhajis, samosas, onion rings, spring rolls. If it's in the party food aisle at a major UK supermarket, there's a good chance it was made right here, at scale and at speed.

Part of a bigger story

This site is part of a larger UK food manufacturing group, home to a portfolio of well-known British food brands. The group has grown quickly in recent years - now spanning close to 20 sites nationally with annual turnover approaching £1.5bn - and continues to expand through ongoing investment and acquisition.

A new senior leadership team has been built out over the past year, as the business pushes towards a clear ambition: becoming the UK's leading chilled prepared food group.

For engineers, that growth is real opportunity: sites are being brought up to consistent standards, systems are being modernised, and there's genuine scope to build a career as the group scales - not just maintain the status quo.
