Job Description

Location; Uttoxeter

We are working with a well-established food manufacturing business operating within a high-volume FMCG production environment, supplying products into major retail and foodservice markets. The site runs a genuinely varied range of production and packaging machinery, from PLC-controlled robotic lines through to a fleet of characterful, century-old ovens still in daily use – giving engineers real breadth across old and new technology, not just the same few assets on repeat.

This is a great opportunity for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer (Electrical Bias) to join a proactive engineering team on a site where maintenance is genuinely valued and properly resourced. Engineers work from a fully equipped stores and workshop – mills, lathes and a comprehensive stock of engineering spares – so faults get fixed properly rather than bodged to keep the line running, and reliability work actually gets the time it needs.

The role has arisen due to an internal promotion, reflecting the real progression opportunities within the engineering function. It would suit a Maintenance Engineer who enjoys hands-on variety – robotics, PLCs, mechanical fault-finding on legacy equipment – and wants to build strong working relationships with production teams.

Responsibilities of a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer:

Carry out planned preventative and reactive maintenance across a wide mix of production and packaging equipment, from PLC-controlled robotic cells to traditional oven plant
	
Diagnose and repair complex electrical and mechanical faults to minimise downtime
	
Work across ovens, mixers, chillers, robotics and packaging lines
	
Make full use of the on-site stores and workshop facilities to carry out proper, lasting repairs
	
Support continuous improvement projects and reliability initiatives across the site
	
Work closely with production teams to improve machine performance and uptime
	
Support the development and mentoring of engineering apprentices

Skills & Qualifications of a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer:

NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Electrical, Mechanical or Multi-Skilled Engineering
	
Electrically biased engineer with strong fault-finding capability
	
Experience within manufacturing or FMCG maintenance environments
	
Comfortable working across a varied equipment base, from PLC/robotic systems to older mechanical plant
	
Experience mentoring apprentices or junior engineers desirable

Benefits of a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer:

Salary: £48,226.25 plus paid overtime
	
4 on 4 off shift pattern (days & nights, 06:00–18:00)
	
Fully equipped stores and workshop – mills, lathes and comprehensive spares holding
	
Genuine variety of machinery, including PLC-controlled robotics and 100-year-old oven plant
	
Genuine career progression opportunities within the business
	
Pension scheme
	
Cycle2Work scheme
