Job Description

Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer | £50,000 - £54,000 | 4 On / 4 Off Thrapston, Northamptonshire

£50,000-£56,000 + excellent benefits | 4 on / 4 off | 1 in 4 night rotation

If you're a hands-on Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer who enjoys fault finding, fixing machinery properly and getting involved in engineering improvements, this could be a very good move.

This isn't a role where you're expected to simply reset a machine, change a sensor and wait for the next breakdown.

You'll have access to a fully equipped engineering workshop, including fabrication facilities, welding bays, a lathe and milling equipment, giving you the opportunity to build, modify and improve equipment as well as maintain it.

You'll work across a highly automated production and packaging environment, carrying out both electrical and mechanical maintenance while getting involved in reliability, improvement and installation projects.

The Shift Pattern

4 on / 4 off with a 1 in 4 night shift rotation

A structured shift pattern designed to give you a strong amount of time away from site while still providing excellent earning potential.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be responsible for keeping a busy automated production operation running safely and efficiently.

Your day-to-day work will include:

Electrical and mechanical fault finding

Planned preventative maintenance

Diagnosing and repairing breakdowns

Maintaining automated production and packaging machinery

Supporting installation and commissioning of new equipment

Carrying out engineering modifications and improvements

Fabrication and welding work

Using workshop machinery including lathes and milling equipment

Identifying recurring faults and helping improve equipment reliability

Working closely with production teams to minimise downtime

Supporting continuous improvement and reliability projects

The Equipment

You'll work on a wide range of automated food processing and packaging equipment, including:

Optical sorters

ProSeal machinery

Redpack machinery

Multi-head weighers

Flow wrappers

Conveyors

Automated packaging systems

Fresh produce processing and packing equipment

There's plenty of variety, so this is well suited to an engineer who enjoys getting stuck into different types of machinery rather than doing the same repair every shift.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an engineer with a strong electrical and mechanical maintenance background.

You'll ideally have experience with:

Industrial electrical fault finding

Mechanical maintenance and repair

Automated machinery

Production, manufacturing or packaging equipment

Planned and reactive maintenance

Continuous improvement and problem solving

Experience within FMCG, food manufacturing, fresh produce, packaging or automated production would be advantageous.

An engineering apprenticeship, NVQ, HNC or equivalent is preferred, although practical engineering ability and relevant experience are equally important.

Experience with welding, fabrication, machining, lathe or milling work would be a real bonus.

What's In It For You?

£50,000-£56,000 salary

4 on / 4 off shift pattern

1 in 4 night shift rotation

Market-leading pension scheme

Generous holiday entitlement

Life assurance

Healthcare cash plan

Aviva Digital GP

Employee assistance programme

Flexible benefits platform

Colleague discount scheme

Retail, leisure and lifestyle discounts

Family-friendly policies and enhanced leave

Salary finance options

Recognition and reward schemes

Ongoing training and development

Why This Role?

If you're looking for a maintenance role where you can actually engineer, rather than simply react to breakdowns, this is worth a look.

You'll have the equipment, workshop facilities and scope to use your skills across electrical, mechanical, fabrication and continuous improvement work.

It's a good opportunity for an engineer who wants variety, decent time off and the chance to develop beyond traditional reactive maintenance.
