Engineering Team Leader

Yes, it’s a rotating shift pattern. Days and nights. If that’s a dealbreaker, fair enough — no hard feelings. But if you’re still with me, this might be the kind of role you’ve been waiting for.

This is a proper Engineering Team Leader position in a food manufacturing site that’s busy, growing, and investing. It’s not a place where you’ll be fighting the same breakdowns every day because no one wants to spend money — they’re actually doing something about it.

You’ll lead a small, solid team of engineers who know what they’re doing. They don’t need a babysitter. What they do need is a leader — someone who can set the tone, get stuck in when needed, and keep things running without shouting or sulking.

• Leading the shift team through the usual mix of planned and reactive work

• Keeping breakdowns under control without losing your head over them

• Supporting continuous improvement and project work (yes, that’s actually happening)

• Handovers that aren’t a mystery novel — you’ll give and get clarity from other shifts

• Being the grown-up in the room when things go sideways

• Strong engineering background – electrical, mechanical, or both

• Experience leading teams in an FMCG or food environment

• A calm head, thick skin, and a sense of humour wouldn’t hurt

• Willing to rotate between days and nights

• A team that works hard and backs each other

• A business that invests in its kit and its people

• A chance to lead without drowning in admin or office politics

• Competitive salary and benefits (they’re not stingy)

If you want a nice quiet job with a desk, a plant, and a coffee machine that works — this probably isn’t it.

But if you want a real leadership role where you can actually get stuck in and make a difference, this one’s worth a look.
