Maintenance Engineer

Job Posted: 2 days ago

Salary: £ 51,000 - 52,000 / Annum
Job Type: Permanent
Location: Lincolnshire

Expire in: a month

Job Description

Some engineering jobs are all firefighting.

This isn't one of them.

You'll be joining a well-established manufacturing site producing a long shelf-life product, where things are planned properly and engineering is given the time and support to do things right.

The site is busy, but it's well organised. Production isn't constantly in crisis, and you're not walking into a situation where every breakdown is treated like the end of civilisation.

You'll be part of a stable engineering team, working alongside supportive management and production colleagues who understand the value of good maintenance.

It's the kind of environment where you can get on with the job, solve problems properly and make improvements rather than spending every shift chasing the latest emergency.

What's in it for you?

£51,431.90 salary

26 days' holiday + bank holidays

Option to buy an additional 5 days' leave

Annual site bonus, paid in November

Annual salary review every April

Matched pension contributions of up to 10%

Free on-site parking

Established engineering team

Well-run manufacturing site

Lincoln commutable

The Role

As a Shift Engineer, you'll be responsible for keeping production equipment running reliably and safely.

You'll be working across both electrical and mechanical maintenance, with a good balance of planned work, fault finding and improvement activity.

Your responsibilities will include:

Planned preventative maintenance

Electrical and mechanical fault finding

Breakdown response and repair

Supporting continuous improvement projects

Working closely with production to maximise equipment reliability

Maintaining high standards of safety and engineering practice

Shift Pattern

You'll work a 3-week rotating shift pattern:

Week 1: 6am-2pm, Monday-Friday

Week 2: 2pm-10pm, Monday-Thursday; 2pm-9pm Friday

Week 3: 10pm-6am, Monday-Thursday

What We're Looking For

Engineering apprenticeship with NVQ, City & Guilds or equivalent

Electrical or mechanical engineering background

Experience within manufacturing, FMCG, food, packaging or a similar environment

Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills

PLC experience would be advantageous

A proactive engineer who takes pride in doing things properly

Why Consider It?

The real attraction here is the working environment.

This is a site where engineering matters. The product has a long shelf life, production is well planned and the operation isn't constantly running from one crisis to the next.

That means you can actually maintain equipment properly, investigate recurring faults and make improvements, rather than simply resetting machines and waiting for the next breakdown.

The engineering team is stable, management are supportive and there's a genuine focus on doing things properly.

If you're looking for a well-paid shift engineering role where you can work in a professional, organised manufacturing environment without the constant drama, this is well worth a conversation.
