Shift Engineer

Maintenance Engineer – FMCG – 4 on / 4 off

Looking for a role where you can make a real impact? Good. Because without you, the production lines stop. And when that happens, people get twitchy.

Your job? Keep the place running. That means fixing things that break, stopping other things from breaking, and spotting the stuff that could run better if someone actually thought about it. That “someone” is you.

You’ll be fault-finding and repairing electrical, mechanical and pneumatic kit, as well as troubleshooting automation systems. Yes, it’s hands-on. No, it’s not just standing around with a spanner looking important.

Why bother applying?

  • 4-on, 4-off (2 days, 2 nights) – 12-hour shifts.

  • Salary that won’t make you cry + annual bonus based on company performance.

  • Decent holiday allowance.

  • Career progression across multiple UK sites.

  • Retail discounts, life cover, pension, free parking.

What we need from you:

  • Recognised apprenticeship (NVQ or above) – electrical preferred.

  • Strong electrical & mechanical fault-finding skills.

  • Manufacturing experience (food/FMCG is nice to have, not a deal-breaker).

This isn’t about “helping to deliver our vision” or “embracing our mission statement”. It’s about keeping millions of pounds worth of kit running, so the business makes money, and you keep getting paid.

If you’re interested, give me a call.
