£48,976 + Overtime + Benefits

If you are a Maintenance Engineer looking for a role where you are genuinely valued, this is one worth exploring.

We do not often recruit for this business. Their retention is high, and most new hires come through recommendation. That alone tells you a lot.

When we place a Maintenance Engineer here on contract, the feedback is consistent
“It is a really friendly place to work, lovely people, great shift.”

Why this Maintenance Engineer role stands out

• Days only, no nights
• 3 on 3 off shift pattern offering real balance
• A supportive, experienced engineering team
• A hands-on Team Leader who works with you
• A mix of reactive, preventative and project work
• A business where people stay

This is a privately owned, family run food manufacturer with a strong heritage. If you have ever had a pie at a football match or from your local chippy, there is a good chance it came from here!

• Maintaining food processing and automated packing equipment

• Carrying out planned preventative and reactive maintenance
• Diagnosing faults down to circuit diagram level
• Working collaboratively across production and engineering teams

What we are looking for

• Qualified Maintenance Engineer with electrical skills
• Experience within manufacturing, ideally high-volume environments
• Ability to fault find on electrical systems confidently
• Experience with automated machinery and site services
• A team player who can also work on their own initiative
• Food experience is helpful but not essential.

What you will get

• £48,976 salary
• Paid overtime
• Pension 2% rising to 5% after 2 years
• Private healthcare after 2 years
• 23 days holiday
• A genuinely supportive environment for any Maintenance Engineer
