Maintenance Engineer (Electrical-Focussed) Full Time NEW

We’re looking for Maintenance Engineers with strong electrical capabilities who can keep our production lines running safely, smoothly and reliably. You’ll be at the centre of day to day engineering activity, diagnosing and resolving electrical issues, carrying out preventative maintenance, and assisting the wider team to maintain high standards of safety, quality and performance. This is a hands on role where your electrical expertise will directly facilitate plant uptime and operational efficiency.

Main Responsibilities:

You’ll work across the full production area, responding to both electrical and mechanical issues, prioritising what needs attention and ensuring equipment is safe, compliant and ready for use. Your work will include diagnosing electrical faults, carrying out routine maintenance, delivering planned interventions and making sure all actions are properly recorded in the CMMS.

You’ll contribute to maintaining key standards around Health & Safety, Food Safety and product quality, taking care to follow correct isolation procedures and safety practices. Part of your role will involve working with production teams to minimise downtime and contribute to drive continuous improvement activity, sharing knowledge and helping to embed simple maintenance practices where appropriate.

You’ll coordinate with external contractors on site, ensuring work is carried out safely and in line with agreed processes. Clear communication and thorough handovers will be a natural part of your routine so that each shift is fully informed and able to operate effectively.

You’ll use your judgement to recognise when issues require escalation and when swift action can prevent disruption. Your role is one that helps keep the plant moving, and your decisions and actions will directly influence reliability and performance.

This is a permanent position working to a rotating shift pattern of 3 on and 3 off 12 hours, early and late shifts, across the year.

About You:

We’re looking for engineers who bring strong electrical capability, ideally with Level 3 or equivalent training, and experience diagnosing and repairing electrical issues in a manufacturing environment. If you can confidently work across motors, sensors, control systems and fault finding, you’ll fit comfortably into the team and the demands of the role.

You’ll enjoy working in an environment where priorities can shift quickly and where every decision contributes to safety, uptime and performance. You’ll be someone who works methodically, communicates well and collaborates with colleagues as part of a wider shift team.

You’ll also be someone who takes pride in maintaining high standards — in your paperwork, in your handovers and in your approach to safe working. Your flexibility, problem solving attitude and willingness to keep learning are just as important as your technical competence.

Finally, you’ll be someone who values doing things properly. Whether it’s a planned maintenance task, an unexpected breakdown or delivering improvements, you’ll understand the impact of your work and play your part in keeping the plant reliable, compliant and running at its best.
