Are you an Engineer looking to join one of the UK's largest and most diverse dairy manufacturing sites, working across a brand-new multi-million-pound UHT facility, dairy and creamery operations?

At Lockerbie, you'll become part of a highly experienced engineering team supporting cutting-edge manufacturing technology across multiple production areas.
