Engineer | Rochdale
Join our technical team as a multi-skilled engineer dedicated to maintaining, servicing and optimising crucial machinery across our food manufacturing facility in Rochdale.
What You Will Be Doing
As an Engineer at our Rochdale facility, you will play a hands-on role in maintaining, servicing and repairing factory machinery to ensure production runs seamlessly and safely across rotating early and late shifts.
- Service, maintain and repair factory equipment to achieve key performance targets, optimise Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and meet strict technical standards.
- Respond swiftly to equipment breakdowns, performing effective fault diagnosis and corrective repairs to minimise downtime.
- Execute and continuously improve preventative and predictive maintenance routines, using root cause analysis (RCA) to eliminate recurring issues.
- Log maintenance activities via CMMS tools, manage spare parts efficiently and collaborate with cross-departmental teams without direct management responsibilities.
