Maintenance Engineer

This is a hands-on engineering role within a high-volume, fast-moving manufacturing environment where reliability, responsiveness, and continuous improvement really matter.

You’ll be working as part of a close-knit engineering team, supporting production through a mix of planned, reactive, and improvement-focused maintenance. The site is well-established, but not standing still — there’s ongoing investment, evolving processes, and genuine scope to influence how things are done.

What kind of engineer are we open to?

We’re deliberately broad on background. If you’re a maintenance engineer who enjoys fault-finding, problem-solving, and getting stuck in, this could be worth exploring.

Engineers typically come from:

Manufacturing or FMCG

Automotive or heavy industry

Armed forces or engineering services

You’ll likely have:

Completed a recognised engineering apprenticeship

Strong mechanical and electrical fault-finding skills

The ability to read and interpret drawings and schematics

A practical, hands-on approach on shift

Additional qualifications (HNC, IOSH/NEBOSH, CI tools, automation exposure) are useful, but not essential — what matters most is attitude, capability, and how you approach problems.

What does the role involve?

That depends partly on you — but typically includes:

Planned and reactive maintenance across a varied site

Diagnosing and resolving electrical, mechanical, and control faults

Preventative and condition-based maintenance

Contributing to reliability and improvement initiatives

Supporting automation and controls when required

There’s scope here to get involved beyond “fixing breakdowns” — but how far that goes is a conversation.

What’s on offer?

Long-term career development and progression opportunities

A strong benefits package including bonus, pension, life assurance, and generous annual leave

A stable, well-run site with a supportive engineering culture

If you’re reading this and thinking “I’d like to know what the kit is, how the team’s set up, and where this role could take me” — that’s exactly the point.
