The Role: Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer - Continental Shifts

You’re joining a multi-skilled engineering team that keeps the wheels turning 24/7. Your mission? Simple: minimise downtime, fix breakdowns, and keep the equipment running efficiently. You’ll support the operations team by ensuring production meets schedule, while continuously improving performance, availability, and efficiency.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll be out on the floor, responding quickly to breakdowns, getting maintenance done on time, and logging everything in the CMMS (Shire). You’ll make things better every day, not just maintain the status quo.

• Complete scheduled maintenance and make sure it’s logged properly.
• Work with OEMs, suppliers, and contractors – handle permits where needed.
• Help install and decommission equipment.
• Diagnose issues and take action, fast.
• Stay on top of safety and maintenance inspections.

Fault Finding:

• Diagnose mechanical and electrical issues by using engineering drawings, manuals, and systems.
• Perform fault-finding using engineering computer systems.

Continuous Improvement:

• Don’t just fix things – make them better. Keep an eye on production lines and look for ways to boost efficiency.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance quality, safety, and reduce waste.

What You’ll Bring:

Essential:

• Completed a time-served engineering apprenticeship (minimum Level 3 qualification).
• You can communicate clearly, whether it’s a written report or a conversation with senior team members.
• You’re organised. Multiple tasks? No problem.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience in food manufacturing? You’re already ahead of the game.
• Understand safety and equipment procedures? You’ll slot right in.
• Electrical qualifications? Welcome aboard! 

Why This Role?

Because you’re not the kind of person who waits for things to break. You’re proactive, you get involved, and you’re constantly looking for ways to make improvements. This isn’t just a job – it’s a chance to make an impact, every day.

If you’ve got what it takes and want to be part of a team that values what you do, then we’d love to hear from you.
