You know those jobs where you're just reacting to chaos all day? This isn’t that (at least, not most of the time).

We’re looking for a practical, sleeves-rolled-up Engineering Supervisor to support the Engineering Manager and lead a team of engineers on a busy manufacturing site. It’s a hands-on leadership role—equal parts people, process, and problem-solving.

You’ll be the person engineers turn to when the plant goes down. The one who keeps the PPM running on time, the breakdowns under control, and the Engineering Manager sane.

This is a great opportunity for a Multiskilled / Senior / Lead engineer to step up into a more leadership role.

What You'll Be Doing:

Running the day-to-day of the engineering team and keeping maintenance efficient
Coaching engineers during breakdowns and overseeing time-critical repairs
Leading PPM schedules and driving plant reliability
Managing contractors, tools, and the odd fire drill (figuratively and literally)
Improving site standards around safety, hygiene, and compliance
Reporting on performance, KPIs, and making the department sharper all-round
Acting as second-in-command to the Engineering Manager and stepping up when needed

What You'll Need:

Leadership experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
Engineering qualifications (mechanical, electrical, or both)
Solid understanding of PPM, reactive maintenance, CI, and audits
The ability to coach a team, liaise with production, and still get your hands dirty
A bit of diplomacy – you’ll be juggling priorities between ops, engineers, and contractors

If you’ve got the toolkit and the temperament to lead a team without losing your cool (or your spanner), this one’s for you.

Apply now – and let’s have a proper conversation.
