Develop and implement preventative maintenance schedules (PPMs)
*
Maintain compliance with health, safety, and industry regulations
*
Troubleshoot complex mechanical issues using a methodical, hands-on approach
*
Support technical and compliance audits
*
Manage engineering budgets and contribute to cost-effective solutions
*
Create a safe and welcoming working environment for all staff
🎓 What We’re Looking For
Experience & Qualifications:
*
Previous experience in engineering leadership within food, FMCG, or manufacturing
*
Hands-on maintenance and repair experience with machinery
*
Strong knowledge of engineering systems and commissioning
*
Familiarity with compliance and H&S requirements in regulated environments
*
Experience managing PPMs and engineering teams
*
City & Guilds or HND in Engineering (Level 3+); Electrical installation certification desirable
Skills & Attributes:
*
Strong problem-solver with excellent project management skills
*
Excellent communicator, able to work across all departments
*
Computer literate and confident using digital maintenance logs/systems
*
Organised, reliable, and detail-focused
*
Able to work with minimal supervision and adapt to changing demands
💼 What’s on Offer
*
Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
*
Monday - Friday, Flexible working shifts (40 hours per week)
*
Career growth within a purpose-driven, supportive technical team
*
Opportunity to make a lasting impact on engineering operations
