- Supporting wider site maintenance and facilities tasks
- Working closely with production and hygiene teams and helping operators get the best from their machines
- Driving continuous improvement and making your mark on how the site runs
You'll be working with conveyors, ovens, heat sealers, checkweighers, motors, drives, pumps, pneumatics, control panels and PLC-controlled equipment.
What You'll Bring
- NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Electrical and/or Mechanical Engineering
- Strong electrical fault-finding skills, including three-phase, motors, drives and control systems
- Solid mechanical knowledge
- A background in food, FMCG or fast-paced manufacturing
- Night shift experience and the confidence to make decisions on your own
- A can-do attitude: you take ownership and get stuck in wherever you're needed
Bonus points for: 18th Edition, PLC experience, PAT testing or facilities maintenance.

- £55K
- Up to 10% annual bonus
- holiday, including bank holidays
