Are you a hands-on engineer who loves solving problems and keeping things running smoothly?

At Vitacress, we’re looking for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join our close-knit Engineering team. You’ll play a key role in keeping our chilled food manufacturing site operating at its best—tackling breakdowns, leading planned maintenance, and delivering small but impactful improvement projects.

In This Role, You Will

• Jump into action to fix faults and reduce downtime
• Carry out planned maintenance to keep machinery in top shape
• Suggest smart improvements that boost efficiency and cut waste
• Work alongside Production, Technical and Hygiene teams to get things done
• Accurately record data to support continuous improvement and compliance
• Ensure everything you do meets health & safety, food safety, and Vitacress standards

What You Bring

• Solid engineering maintenance experience
• Strong electrical & mechanical fault-finding skills
• Confidence reading technical drawings and working with pneumatics
• Fabrication and welding experience
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset
• A recognised engineering qualification (e.g., apprenticeship or graduate programme)

You’re someone who thrives in a team but is equally confident working independently. You enjoy variety, learning, and taking responsibility—and you’re always looking for ways to do things better.

Why Vitacress? We care about our people. We work with honesty, and we’re always pioneering better ways to grow, produce, and deliver. This is your chance to be part of a business where you’re valued, supported, and empowered to make a real difference.
