Circa £55,000

Are you a driven CI or Maintenance Engineer with a passion for driving operational excellence in fast‑paced manufacturing environments? Do you thrive on identifying process inefficiencies and delivering sustainable improvements?

We’re looking for a CI Engineer with proven experience in FMCG, food, or beverage manufacturing, who can lead and embed a culture of continuous improvement and operational reliability across site.

In this pivotal role, you will take ownership of critical CI / Reliability initiatives onsite – improving line performance, reducing downtime, and ensuring engineering reliability through data‑driven strategies and cross‑functional collaboration. You will play a key role in identifying improvement opportunities, engaging stakeholders at all levels, and supporting maintenance and production teams to implement change that delivers measurable results.

We are seeking someone with a track record in FMCG, food, or drink manufacturing, strong technical background and a deep understanding of Lean, TPM, or Six Sigma methodologies, who is looking to make a tangible impact on manufacturing performance and culture. You will need to be comfortable being off the tools as this role is predominately office‑based focussed on improvements, CI and RCA.

You will be instrumental in supporting the Engineering leadership teams to develop robust reliability strategies, optimise asset performance, and drive a culture where safety, quality, and continuous improvement are at the heart of everything you do.
