Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer
Leading food manufacturer · Trafford Park, Manchester · Continental shift £57,679 + 5% bonus
If you're the kind of engineer who hates standing still - who'd rather be diagnosing a fault, improving a process, or mentoring the next generation of engineers than watching the clock - this role was built for you.
You'll be a key part of the maintenance team at a high-output food manufacturing site in Trafford Park, keeping production running smoothly and pushing the site's performance forward. This isn't a purely reactive role: you'll have real scope to identify inefficiencies, drive improvements, and make your mark on OEE.
What you'll be doing
- Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and responding to breakdowns to keep production moving
- Diagnosing and resolving mechanical, electrical, and automation faults quickly and accurately
- Identifying process improvements and putting them into practice through change management
- Supporting and coaching colleagues - sharing your knowledge and raising the team's capability
- Working to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards on a AA BRC-rated site
