More About The Role
We are looking for an Engineering Shift Manager to join us. This role is critical to ensuring the smooth operation of the manufacturing site.
Responsibilities in more detail:
- Minimising Machinery Downtime: The engineering team plays a crucial role in minimising machinery downtime. This involves proactive maintenance, predictive maintenance, and swift response to unexpected breakdowns. The team must ensure that equipment is operational to maintain production schedules.
- Improving Performance: The team should continually seek opportunities to enhance equipment performance without compromising product quality. This can involve optimising processes, implementing upgrades, or using data-driven approaches to identify areas for improvement.
- Engineer Engagement: Keeping the engineering team engaged and motivated is important for productivity and innovation. This might involve fostering a positive work environment, providing training and development opportunities, and recognising and rewarding achievements.
- Asset Care Programme: Leading and supporting the Morrisons asset care programme is a key responsibility. This program likely includes strategies for maintaining and prolonging the life of assets, reducing maintenance costs, and ensuring the team adheres to best practices.
- Hands-On Approach: Being hands-on in repairing and optimising equipment assets is crucial. This hands-on involvement from the team leader can set an example for the rest of the team and ensure that issues are addressed promptly.
- Maintenance Coordination: Coordinating maintenance priorities with the Maintenance team is vital for ensuring that maintenance activities are planned and executed efficiently. This coordination helps prevent production disruptions and ensures that resources are allocated effectively.
- Crisis Incident Management: Being prepared to handle crisis incidents, accidents, and near misses is essential for maintaining a safe working environment. This includes conducting investigations and taking appropriate corrective actions.
- Discipline and Grievance: Enforcing discipline and grievance procedures is necessary to maintain order and address any issues that may arise within the team. This ensures that standards are upheld and that any misconduct is appropriately addressed.
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.
