At Warburtons, engineering keeps everything moving. From maintaining and improving our equipment to solving problems before they become problems, our Engineers play a big part in keeping our bakeries doing what they do best.
We’re looking for a Multi-Skilled Engineer to join our team in Newburn. Ideally, you’ll bring a strong mix of electrical and mechanical engineering skills, although an electrical bias would be particularly welcome.
And there’s plenty to get stuck into. You’ll be working within a modern food manufacturing environment, in our newly rebuilt Gluten Free facility, helping us keep our equipment safe, reliable and performing at its best.
The Recipe
No two shifts are quite the same. You’ll work alongside our Production, Safety and Hygiene teams, using your engineering know-how to find faults, fix problems and, importantly, look for ways of stopping them happening again.
You’ll be involved in:
- Planned and preventative maintenance
- Electrical and mechanical fault finding
- Improving equipment reliability and reducing downtime
- Using data and root cause analysis to find long-term solutions
- Working with automated equipment, processing and packaging systems
- Supporting continuous improvement across the site
- Sharing ideas and engineering expertise with the wider team
