Engineering Manager - Food Manufacturing
West Midlands
70,000 - 75,000
You know how this goes.
Machines wear out. People call in sick. And the plan that looked great at 9am is falling apart by lunch.
That's where you come in.
This site needs an Engineering Manager who knows their way around a food factory - not just the kit, but the people too. Someone who can steady the ship, lead the team, and quietly fix the stuff that's been broken for too long.
There's a maintenance team in place. Decent crew, but they need a bit more direction and a proper plan. Right now, it's mostly reactive. If you're more about PPM than permanent firefighting, they'll love you.
The factory's in the West Midlands - not huge, but not tiny either. Established, family-owned, and not owned by a spreadsheet in Switzerland. You'll report into the Ops Director. He's solid. Wants things done properly, not just patched up.
You'll need:
- Strong engineering background (food/FMCG is a must)
- Experience managing maintenance teams
- Confidence to make decisions and back them up
- A sense of humour - seriously, it helps here
This isn't a clipboard-and-meetings type of role. You'll be on the floor, sleeves rolled up, making things work. But if you do it right, you'll have a real say in how this site runs.
Fancy a proper engineering challenge, minus the corporate nonsense?
