Job Description

Lead Engineer - Monday to Friday

Local to Spalding, Holbeach, Boston, Sleaford

Monday-Friday | No Weekends or Bank Holidays

Up to £55,000 + additional benefits

Tired of shifts? Ready to step up from being purely on the tools?

This is a great opportunity to join a family-oriented food manufacturing business as an Engineering Lead, where you'll still have a hands-on technical role but take real ownership of the engineering function.

You'll lead and develop a multi-skilled engineering team, drive improvements, manage PPMs, support projects and contractors, and help take the site's engineering performance to the next level.

What's in it for you?

  • Monday-Friday - no weekends or bank holidays
  • Family-focused, supportive business
  • Hands-on role with genuine leadership responsibility
  • Opportunity to drive engineering & continuous improvement
  • Lead, mentor and develop a multi-skilled team
  • Work across specialist food manufacturing equipment
  • Get involved with projects, OEE, PPM and process improvements

What we're looking for:

  • Multi-skilled Electrical/Mechanical engineering background
  • Food/FMCG manufacturing experience
  • Previous leadership/supervisory experience
  • Strong problem-solving and continuous improvement mindset
  • Essential: Boiler & Steam experience - you must be confident working with steam systems and associated equipment

If you're an experienced Engineer who wants to move into a genuine leadership role without giving up the technical side - this could be the step you've been waiting for.
