Opportunity
Mechanical to Electrical Conversion Engineer
This is a career-defining role for mechanically trained engineers who are genuinely motivated to:
- Transition from mechanical to multi-skilled
- Gain electrical competence and qualifications
- Work on highly automated FMCG production and packaging lines
- Be part of a £MM CAPEX investment and automation expansion project
What We’re Looking For (Essential)
- Mechanically biased engineers with Apprenticeship (Mechanical) OR NVQ Level 3 in Mechanical Maintenance / Engineering.
- Backgrounds considered: Manufacturing (including automotive, aerospace, process chemicals), Food & beverage/packaging (sweet spot), Pharmaceutical/process industries, or any mechanical maintenance environment (open to all trades).
- Exposure to conveyors, motors, gearboxes, belts, packaging machinery/process equipment, basic exposure to sensors, relays, or electrical fault‑finding (highly beneficial).
What Makes This Role Different?
- Structured pathway from mechanical → electrical → fully multi-skilled.
- Company invests £4,000+ in formal electrical training.
- Hands‑on learning with automation, controls, and production systems.
- Ideal for engineers with interest, curiosity, and long‑term ambition.
This is not just a job — it is a conversion programme for engineers serious about developing into dual‑skilled maintenance engineers.
Key Responsibilities
- Maintain and repair process and packaging machinery.
- Carry out planned and reactive mechanical maintenance.
- Support fault‑finding across mechanical & developing electrical elements.
- Contribute to plant improvements, reliability, and automation upgrades.
- Work on high‑speed, automated FMCG production lines.
What You’ll Get
- £57,000 base salary.
- Performance bonus (£2k+).
- Overtime at 1.5x.
- £4,000 structured electrical training & development.
- Excellent pension & benefits.
- Long‑term career progression into multi‑skilled engineering.
This role is ONLY suitable for: Mechanically trained engineers. Candidates genuinely interested in electrical upskilling and development.
Not suitable for:
- Fully electrical engineers already qualified.
- Mechanical engineers with no interest in electrical development.
Next Steps
If you’re a mechanically biased engineer ready to evolve into a multi‑skilled future, I’d love to speak with you.
Are you ready to invest in yourself and become a dual‑skilled engineer? Can you relocate or commute to the Shropshire area?
Candidates who are a Mechanical Engineer, Multi‑skilled Engineer, Maintenance Engineer, Plant Mechanic may be suitable for this role.
