Maintenance Engineer (Elec Bias)

Job Description:

Multi-Skilled Engineer – Electrical Bias
Burton upon Trent
Panama shift pattern (12-hour shifts – days & nights)

Fancy spending half your working life fixing machines that make crisps, only to then spend your days off eating them? Well, you can.

I'm after a Multi-Skilled Engineer with an electrical bias. Translation: someone who knows their way around control panels but doesn’t cry when they see a spanner. The job is what you’d expect – reactive and planned maintenance, reducing downtime, keeping records up to date, root cause analysis, the odd chat with contractors.

You’ll also need to care about safety, food standards, and making sure the kit doesn’t explode.

The shift pattern? Panama. Which means one week you’re working days, the next nights, and at some point, you’ll forget what year it is.

What’s in it for you?

• Salary up to £52k depending on how good you are

• Bonus scheme that usually pays out (which is nice)

• Healthcare, pension (up to 7% matched), and a bunch of wellbeing stuff

• 25 days’ holiday plus the chance to buy more if you like not being at work

• Discounts, prizes, competitions – basically things HR use to prove they’re “fun”

What we need from you:

• Electrical engineering quals to at least Level 3

• Multi-skilled would be great, but being able to fix electrical stuff without electrocuting yourself is the main thing

• Food industry experience is handy, but transferable experience works too

• Someone who gets stuck in, doesn’t flap when things break, and can communicate like a normal human being

You won’t tick every box. Hardly anyone does. But if you can keep machines running, solve problems without drama, and don’t mind shifts, then you’ll probably fit right in.
