Multi-Skilled Shift Engineer
Fed up with maintenance jobs where "career progression" is just something they write in the advert and never materialise into anything further?
This one's different.
We need a Multi-Skilled Shift Engineer who can walk onto a fast-paced production floor, diagnose a fault before anyone's finished explaining the symptoms, and fix it — mechanical, electrical, or PLC — without needing three sign-offs.
You'll be doing planned, preventative and reactive maintenance. You'll be elbow-deep in PLCs, motors, control panels and production lines. You'll be the person breakdowns get sent to, and the person new machinery installs get built around. Real engineering, real responsibility, real variety.
What you'll actually be doing:
Keeping the plant running — planned, preventative, reactive, the lot
Electrical fault finding on PLCs, motors and control panels
Diagnosing and rectifying mechanical, electrical and automation faults
Supporting installs, refurbs and upgrades
Driving continuous improvement, not just patching problems
Keeping records straight and stock levels sorted
Working 4 on / 4 off, days and nights
What you'll need:
Solid experience as a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer, ideally in food manufacturing or FMCG
Apprenticeship trained, or City & Guilds / NVQ Level 3 in Electrical, Electro-Mechanical or equivalent
Genuine mechanical and electrical competence — PLC fault finding you're actually confident with
A problem-solver who fixes the root cause, not just the symptom
Someone who can work solo or as part of a team without missing a beat
Decent PC literacy and comfort with maintenance management systems
A solid grip on H&S and food hygiene protocols
Bonus points for:
18th Edition Wiring Regs
PLC programming experience
3+ years in food manufacturing or FMCG
What's in it for you:
£53,000 – £55,000
Company pension
Recognition & wellbeing programmes
