Role Overview
This is a shopfloor-focused leadership role where you’ll take day-to-day ownership of maintenance activities, leading from the front and supporting your team to deliver high standards across safety, reliability, and performance.
You’ll coordinate the maintenance plan, respond to breakdowns, and work closely with production and site functions to ensure equipment availability meets operational needs. You’ll also step up to deputise for the Engineering Manager when required.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead and coordinate the maintenance team on a daily basis, ensuring work is planned, prioritised, and completed safely and effectively
- Take ownership of the daily and weekly maintenance plan, balancing planned, reactive, and corrective work
- Provide hands-on technical support, troubleshooting equipment issues and restoring plant safely following breakdowns
- Drive improvements in equipment reliability, leading root-cause analysis and implementing long-term fixes
- Ensure full compliance with HSE, food safety, and quality standards (including HACCP, BRCGS, GMP, and UK regulations)
- Monitor key KPIs such as downtime, PM compliance, and repeat failures, taking action to improve performance
- Work closely with Production, Quality, HSE, and Planning teams to align maintenance priorities
- Manage contractors and ensure all work is safely controlled and completed to required standards
- Support engineering projects, modifications, and small capital improvements
- Maintain accurate records within the CMMS and ensure effective management of spares and assets
- Promote a proactive maintenance culture focused on prevention, not just reaction
