Maintenance Engineer

Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer Leading food manufacturer · Trafford Park, Manchester · Continental shift £57,679 + 5% bonus

If you’re the kind of engineer who hates standing still — who’d rather be diagnosing a fault, improving a process, or mentoring the next generation of engineers than watching the clock — this role was built for you.

You’ll be a key part of the maintenance team at a high-output food manufacturing site in Trafford Park, keeping production running smoothly and pushing the site’s performance forward. This isn’t a purely reactive role: you’ll have real scope to identify inefficiencies, drive improvements, and make your mark on OEE.

What you’ll be doing

• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and responding to breakdowns to keep production moving
• Diagnosing and resolving mechanical, electrical, and automation faults quickly and accurately
• Identifying process improvements and putting them into practice through change management
• Supporting and coaching colleagues — sharing your knowledge and raising the team’s capability
• Working to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards on a AA BRC-rated site

What we’re looking for

• Time-served apprentice-trained engineer with an ONC, BTEC, or equivalent (HNC a bonus)
• Strong hands‑on skills across mechanical, electrical, and automation systems
• Experience in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment — food or FMCG preferred
• Familiarity with highly regulated or audited sites (BRC, ISO, or similar)
• A sharp analytical mind and the confidence to make decisions under pressure

The package

• £57,679 base salary + 5% annual bonus
• Continental shift — 2 days, 2 nights, 4 off
• 22 days holiday
• Pension up to 10%, life assurance 4×, BUPA healthcare
• EV salary sacrifice scheme with free onsite charging
• Staff discounts worth up to £3k per year
• Cycle to work scheme
