  • Supporting the rollout of asset care and autonomous maintenance activity in partnership with Operations
  • Acting as a technical point of reference for maintenance supervisors and technicians
  • Getting involved in continuous improvement projects across the site

What's needed:

  • Multi-skilled engineer (mechanical and electrical), ideally FMCG or food manufacturing background, though other high-speed manufacturing environments will be considered
  • Strong track record in PPM, breakdown analysis and reliability-focused maintenance
  • Experience managing critical spares would be a real advantage
  • Comfortable analysing CMMS and plant data to make evidence-based maintenance decisions
  • Some front-line management or team leadership experience preferred
  • A proactive, improvement-driven mindset

  • Genuine progression within a wider group with multiple sites across the UK
