Company Overview

Our client is one of the UK’s largest manufacturing groups nationwide and employing over 2,100 people. Although well-established, the business continues to make steady improvements and invest where needed to support its long-term operations.

This role sits within one of more traditional manufacturing sites. While the plant has seen some upgrades over the years, it remains a heavy industrial environment with equipment that requires hands-on mechanical work and regular attention.

The site operates a wide range of long-standing machinery including mixers, conveyors, silos, hydraulics, pneumatics, and large material-handling systems. Engineers joining the team can expect a practical, mechanically demanding environment with a consistent flow of maintenance work.

The business supplies a broad range of markets across the UK, giving it stability and consistent demand, even if the site itself is more traditional than modern.

If you are ready to take the next step in your engineering career and join a world-class manufacturing team as a maintenance engineer, we would love to hear from you!
