This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys being on the shop floor, leading from the front and building a team that can make a real difference.
The business has some significant projects on the horizon, so alongside keeping the site running, you''ll play a key role in improving engineering capability and delivering longer-term improvements.

Building, developing and leading a strong engineering team
Taking ownership of day-to-day maintenance across a busy manufacturing site
Improving equipment reliability and reducing downtime
Driving preventative maintenance and continuous improvement
Supporting and delivering major engineering projects
Working closely with production to improve performance and keep the site moving
Developing a proactive, accountable engineering culture
What I''m looking for:
Experience in a Maintenance Manager or similar engineering leadership role within manufacturing
A hands-on approach with the ability to lead from the front
Experience managing and developing engineering teams
Strong maintenance, reliability and problem-solving skills
The confidence to take ownership, challenge the status quo and drive improvements
Food manufacturing experience would be advantageous
If you''re an engineering leader who wants more than just keeping the machines running, this could be worth a conversation.
Get in touch for a confidential discussion.
