Job Description
You know that feeling when you’re halfway through fixing something at home, only to realise the job’s way bigger than you thought? Well, imagine that, but in a busy FMCG factory with production teams staring at you like you’re Gandalf.
That’s pretty much this role.
We’re looking for a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer to join our in-house engineering team. Your job? Keep the machines running. Sometimes that means planned maintenance. Sometimes it’s a breakdown at 3am when you’d really rather not be there, but you’re the one who knows how to fix it.
It’s a hands-on role where you’ll be fitter, fabricator, welder, service engineer, and problem-solver rolled into one. Variety is guaranteed. Boredom isn’t.
The work you’ll be doing
• Keeping production machinery running and safe
• Fixing breakdowns before they ruin everyone’s day
• Helping us move from firefighting to proper planned maintenance
• Using test kit to find and sort faults (instead of guessing and hitting things with a hammer)
• Welding, fitting, fabricating – whatever it takes to keep production moving
• Chipping in with Lean and OEE improvements (because “that’s how we’ve always done it” isn’t good enough)
What you’ll need
• You’re mechanically biased (Level 3+ qualified in Engineering)
• You’ve worked in a manufacturing environment before, ideally FMCG
• You take safety seriously, because no bottle, bar, or box is worth losing a finger over
• You’re fit enough for a job that’s physical
• You can communicate like a grown-up and work as part of a team
• You’ve got some decent experience with hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, bearings, and all the usual suspects
Extra brownie points if you’ve done an apprenticeship, have an HNC/HND, or you’ve worked in heavy industry.
What’s in it for you
• £45,217 average annual salary (inclusive of allowances/bonuses)
• Paid weekly (yes, weekly)
• Overtime if you want it
• Proper training and kit to keep you safe
• Pension, life assurance, and flexible benefits
• Share scheme if you fancy being part-owner
The shifts
Four on, four off. Mix of days and nights. Flexibility needed. Coffee recommendedBefore You Apply
