Shift: Dupont shift pattern, 12-hour days and nights (includes one week off every month)

A well-established food manufacturing site located ner the M4 in Bristol is looking to recruit a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join its engineering team.

This is a great opportunity to join a site that forms part of a larger UK group, giving engineers the chance to work in a stable production environment with future investment and development expected across the site.

The site produces products for major UK retailers and operates across four production lines with a range of processing equipment and associated packaging machinery.

The role would suit a multi-skilled engineer with strong mechanical and electrical fault-finding ability. Food experience would be beneficial, but it is not essential. Engineers from wider manufacturing, HGV, forces, FMCG, packaging, automotive, pharmaceutical or process environments will all be considered.

• Carrying out planned, preventative and reactive maintenance across production machinery
• Diagnosing and resolving breakdowns to minimise downtime
• Working on liquid processing equipment, cooking vessels, pumps, valves, conveyors and packaging machinery
• Electrical fault finding on 3-phase systems, motors, sensors, relays, panels, inverters and drives
• Mechanical maintenance including bearings, seals, gearboxes, pumps, hydraulics and pneumatics
• Supporting site improvements, reliability work and root cause analysis
• Maintaining engineering records and completing accurate handovers
• Working closely with production teams to support line performance
• Maintaining high standards around food safety, GMP and hygienic engineering

What We’re Looking For

• Multi-skilled maintenance engineer with experience in production, manufacturing, process or similar environments
• Electrical and mechanical fault-finding capability
• Experience with motors, drives, inverters, control panels and 3-phase systems
• Mechanical experience across pumps, valves, bearings, gearboxes, hydraulics and pneumatics
• NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
• Food manufacturing experience beneficial but not essential
• Open to engineers from HGV, forces, manufacturing, FMCG, packaging, automotive, pharmaceutical or wider industrial backgrounds

Package

• Salary circa £53,000
• Weekly pay
• Average 42-hour week
• Full week off within the 28-day shift rotation
• Overtime available at 1.5x
• Paid breaks
• Permanent role within a growing UK food manufacturing group
