Are you a Multi-Skilled Engineer looking to develop your technical skills within a well-established, high-volume food manufacturing environment?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading food manufacturing business operating within the poultry sector, working across high-speed production, processing and packing equipment. You''ll play a key role in keeping production moving, combining planned and reactive maintenance with fault-finding, plant improvements and ongoing engineering activity across the site.

This is more than simply a maintenance role. You''ll gain exposure to automated production equipment, process improvement and wider engineering projects, with the opportunity to broaden both your electrical and mechanical capabilities. Working within a fast-paced manufacturing environment, you''ll have plenty of variety and the opportunity to contribute to equipment reliability, operational efficiency and continuous improvement.

You will be responsible for, but not limited to:

• Carrying out planned and reactive maintenance across production, processing and packing equipment.

• Responding quickly to breakdowns and engineering issues to minimise downtime and maintain production performance.

• Diagnosing electrical and mechanical faults and implementing effective repairs.

• Completing planned maintenance inspections and identifying opportunities to improve equipment reliability.

• Supporting plant improvement activity and wider engineering projects across the site.

• Working closely with Production and other site teams to resolve issues and keep manufacturing running efficiently.

• Maintaining and repairing factory and plant-based equipment across different areas of the operation.

• Identifying opportunities to improve machinery performance, uptime and ways of working.

• Supporting improvements to automated production and processing equipment.

• Sharing technical knowledge and supporting other members of the Engineering team.

• Ensuring all engineering work is completed safely, hygienically and in line with food manufacturing and site standards.

• Maintaining accurate engineering records to support internal requirements and external audits.

What''s required?

• A recognised Engineering Apprenticeship or relevant engineering qualification, ideally NVQ Level 3 or equivalent.

• Strong practical engineering knowledge within a manufacturing environment.

• Good electrical and mechanical engineering capabilities.

• Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills.

• Experience working with automated production, processing or packaging equipment.

• The ability to understand engineering drawings, symbols and technical information.

• A proactive approach with the ability to work independently as well as part of a wider Engineering team.

• Experience within food, poultry, FMCG or another high-volume manufacturing environment would be advantageous.

• Previous experience working shifts would be beneficial.

• A willingness to continue developing your electrical and mechanical engineering capabilities.

• Flexibility to work shifts in line with operational requirements.

What''s in it for you?

An opportunity to join a large-scale food manufacturing operation where engineering plays a critical role in production performance. You''ll gain exposure to high-speed automated equipment, process improvements and wider engineering projects, with the opportunity to develop your technical capabilities across both electrical and mechanical disciplines.

You''ll be working within a busy manufacturing environment offering plenty of engineering variety, the opportunity to tackle complex technical challenges and the chance to make a genuine impact on equipment reliability and site performance.
