Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer

Multi-Skilled Engineer

As a Multi-Skilled Engineer, you’ll play a vital role in keeping our production sites running safely and efficiently. You’ll work with a wide range of modern food manufacturing equipment, carrying out planned maintenance, responding to breakdowns, and improving reliability across our lines.

Every day brings a different challenge, and your expertise will help ensure food is produced safely, on time, and to the highest standards.


Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out planned and reactive maintenance on production and packaging equipment
  • Diagnose faults and complete first-time fixes to reduce downtime
  • Work with both mechanical and electrical systems across automated production lines
  • Maintain high standards of health, safety and food safety at all times
  • Record work clearly using site systems and follow engineering processes
  • Identify recurring issues and contribute ideas that improve reliability and performance
  • Work closely with production and engineering colleagues across shifts
  • Escalate complex or unresolved issues in line with site procedures

About You

We believe success comes from collaboration and diverse perspectives. At Samworth Brothers, we value team players who are driven to achieve great results together. You’ll bring the following skills and experience:

  • Proven experience within a manufacturing environment
  • Mechanical and electrical engineering skills with a relevant qualification focused on electrical engineering
  • Confidence in fault-finding on automated machinery and production equipment
  • Proactive approach with the ability to prioritise effectively under pressure
  • Strong attention to detail and a focus on doing the job right first time
  • Collaborative mindset and clear communication skills

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
