Maintenance Engineer

We're looking for a Maintenance Engineer to support a busy production environment where reliability, pace, and problem-solving really matter. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on keeping equipment running, reducing downtime, and supporting production teams through a mix of planned maintenance, fault-finding, and reactive repairs. You'll be working with a wide range of machinery and systems, so no two shifts look the same.

Hours: 37.5 hours Mon - Fri rotating 6am - 2pm / 2pm - 10pm

What you'll be doing as the Maintenance Engineer:
. Carrying out preventative maintenance and routine equipment checks
. Responding quickly to breakdowns and diagnosing faults under pressure
. Adjusting machines, completing size changes, and supporting line set-ups
. Maintaining and calibrating equipment to meet safety and quality standards
. Recording maintenance activity, PPMs, and shift reports accurately
. Working closely with operations to improve performance and reliability
. Getting involved in improvement or upgrade work where required
. Following health & safety procedures at all times

The equipment you'll work with:
. Packaging and production machinery
. Conveyors, baggers, flow wrappers, and multi-heads
. Pneumatics, sensors, metal detection and check weighing systems
. Bespoke packing and labelling lines

What we're looking for:
. Experience as a Maintenance Engineer in manufacturing, FMCG, or production
. Mechanical and electrical fault-finding skills
. Engineering qualification (NVQ Level 3, ONC, or equivalent)
. Comfortable working independently and making decisions on shift
. A proactive mindset with a strong work ethic
. Knowledge of wiring regulations or packaging equipment is a bonus, not a must
