An exciting opportunity has arisen for a skilled Shift Engineer to join one of the UK's most respected food manufacturing businesses. With over a century of expertise in their field and a strong commitment to innovation, investment, and continuous improvement, they are seeking a proactive engineer to become part of their highly skilled engineering team at their modern production facility just outside Melton Mowbray.

This is far more than a traditional maintenance role. While responding to breakdowns and carrying out planned preventative maintenance will form part of the position, the successful candidate will also play a key role in driving engineering improvements, enhancing equipment reliability, and supporting the installation of new machinery and capital projects.

The site continues to benefit from significant investment, with state-of-the-art production and packaging equipment and ambitious plans for future growth.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

* Respond quickly and effectively to equipment breakdowns.

* Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) activities.

* Support continuous improvement initiatives and engineering projects.

* Assist with the installation and commissioning of new equipment.

* Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) to prevent recurring issues.

* Maintain accurate maintenance records using the CMMS system.

* Collaborate closely with production teams and fellow engineers.

* Ensure compliance with health & safety, quality, and hygiene standards at all times.

* Share knowledge and best practice across engineering shifts.

The ideal candidate will have:

* Experience as a Multi-Skilled Engineer, Electrical Engineer, or Electrician within a manufacturing environment.

* An apprenticeship qualification or equivalent engineering background.

* Strong fault-finding and problem-solving abilities.

* Good understanding of health & safety practices.

* The ability to work independently and prioritise workload effectively.

* A proactive approach to continuous improvement.

* Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

* Strong attention to detail and accurate record-keeping abilities.

* Salary up to £47,689 per annum (including shift allowance)

* Performance-related bonus

* Company profit-related bonus scheme

* Pension scheme

* Life assurance

* Employee rewards and savings platform

* Ongoing training and development opportunities

* The chance to work within a supportive, well-invested manufacturing environment

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to join a business that genuinely values its people and invests in both its facilities and workforce. The engineering team enjoys a proactive maintenance culture, involvement in exciting capital projects, and the chance to make a real impact on site performance and future growth.

If you're an engineer who enjoys solving problems, improving equipment reliability, and contributing to long-term engineering excellence, we'd love to hear from you
