Job Overview

We are seeking a skilled and dedicated Mechanical Maintenance and Repair Engineer to join our production and factory team. Working Monday to Friday (afternoon shifts 2 pm till 10:15 pm), 40‑hours per week.

Own transport essential to get to and from the site; there are no bus or train links available, and the site is located out in the middle of rural countryside.

£30,000 to £40,000 basic annual salary.

Full‑time permanent position.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct regular maintenance checks on machinery and equipment to maximise production targets, as well as electrical engineering work.
  • Repairing and servicing rollers, conveyers, and line machines to ensure production output is maintained.

  • Interpret schematics to diagnose faults and implement effective solutions.

Essential

This is a particularly challenging role, and we would welcome any candidate with a balanced skill set in both disciplines. This is a hands‑on role supporting maintenance, fault‑finding, and installation work across production, packaging, and cold storage areas.
