Maintenance & Compliance Manager
Location: North Walsham
Salary: £62,500 + Package
Days: 37.5 hours
This is not a maintenance manager role where you inherit a well‑oiled machine. This is a role where you build it, shape it, and own it.
Sitting on the Senior Leadership Team, you’ll take full accountability for engineering standards, asset care, and compliance across a complex, high‑volume manufacturing site — with the autonomy to raise the bar and leave a legacy.
Why this role stands out
- True ownership – you define the maintenance strategy, not just execute it
- SLT influence – a seat at the table with real decision‑making authority
- Build & shape a function – develop structure, capability, and standards
- Balance of strategy + hands‑on credibility – not a desk‑only leadership role
- Long‑term impact – asset reliability, compliance, and culture sit with you
What you’ll be accountable for
You’ll lead the entire engineering and asset care function, with responsibility for both people and performance.
- Own and deliver the site‑wide Asset Care strategy
- Set and enforce engineering standards, compliance, and safe systems of work
- Lead HSE performance with a zero‑accident mindset
- Drive a data‑led maintenance culture through CMMS and KPI ownership
- Take full ownership of engineering compliance, audits, and statutory requirements
- Lead CAPEX, projects, and installation of new production capability
- Manage and develop a multi‑layer engineering team, including:
- Shift Asset Care Technicians
- Compliance Team Leader
- Project Engineer
- Process Engineering capability
- Control maintenance budgets, spend, and long‑term asset planning
- Partner closely with operations, planning, finance, and senior stakeholders
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience in a senior maintenance or engineering leadership role
- Strong background in manufacturing or industrial environments
- Deep understanding of engineering compliance, audits, and statutory requirements
- Experience leading multi‑disciplinary teams through structure and change
- Solid technical foundation (mechanical, electrical, or both)
- Track record of delivering projects, CAPEX, and continuous improvement
- Able to operate confidently at senior leadership level
What’s on offer
- £62,500 salary
- 33 days holiday
- 6% pension
- Private medical (including dental)
- Death in service (2x salary)
But more importantly
A role with real ownership, visibility, and progression potential
The reality of the role
This is a site with opportunity — not perfection.
If you’re motivated by
- Raising standards
- Building teams
- Creating structure where it’s needed
- Leaving a lasting impact
You’ll thrive here.
If you’re looking for
- A steady‑state environment
- Minimal challenge
- Or a purely strategic role without hands‑on leadership
This won’t be the right fit.
If you’re ready to step into a role where engineering, compliance, and performance sit firmly in your hands, apply now.
