About the Role
Are you a hands-on engineer who enjoys solving problems, keeping machinery running at its best, and making a real impact in a manufacturing environment? Do you thrive on fault-finding, continuous improvement, and working as part of a close-knit team?
At Evergreen Garden Care, Europe's leading garden care company, we're looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join our Hatfield site on a 12-month fixed-term contract, supporting the operation and performance of our woodfibre production area.
Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you'll play a key role in maintaining and improving the reliability of our woodfibre processing equipment and associated site machinery. You'll be responsible for both preventative and reactive maintenance activities, helping to maximise uptime, minimise disruption, and ensure a safe and efficient production environment.
This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same. You'll work closely with production and engineering colleagues, applying your technical expertise to keep operations running smoothly while identifying opportunities to improve equipment performance and reliability.
