Late Shift Engineer
Job Description
Most maintenance jobs promise "a great opportunity." Then you arrive to find outdated machinery, endless breakdowns and weekends spent covering shifts.
This isn't one of those - this is a lesser known food manufacture.
We're recruiting for a Multi-Skilled Night Maintenance Engineer to join a successful food manufacturing business investing in its people, equipment and continuous improvement. Working a fixed Monday to Friday late shift (16:00-02:00), you'll enjoy a consistent routine with your weekends free while supporting a modern, automated production facility.
Why Make the Move?
- £58,000 salary
- Permanent Monday to Friday late shift (16:00-02:00)
- Weekends free.
- Stable, growing manufacturer with ongoing investment.
- Modern automated production and packaging machinery.
- A varied role combining breakdown response, PPM and improvement projects.
- Supportive Engineering Manager who values proactive maintenance.
- Opportunities to develop your electrical, mechanical and PLC skills.
The Role
You'll be responsible for ensuring production runs efficiently by:
- Responding quickly to electrical and mechanical breakdowns.
- Completing planned preventative maintenance (PPM).
- Fault-finding across conveyors, automated production and packaging equipment.
- Supporting continuous improvement initiatives and engineering projects.
- Maintaining the highest standards of health and safety, including Lock Out/Tag Out procedures.
What We're Looking For
- NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Engineering.
- Recognised Engineering Apprenticeship.
- Strong electrical and mechanical fault-finding skills.
- Manufacturing, FMCG or food production experience.
- Ability to read electrical schematics.
- Welding experience (MIG/TIG/ARC) is advantageous.
- PLC fault-finding experience would be beneficial but isn't essential.
If you're looking for a well-paid engineering role with a consistent shift pattern, modern equipment and a business that genuinely values its maintenance team, we'd love to hear from you.
