Requisition

Our manufacturing plants run around the clock producing some of the UK's most loved food products - and our engineers are the heartbeat of everything we do. From the moment potatoes arrive at our factory gates to the finished product heading out the door, our engineering teams keep every stage of that process moving safely, efficiently, and reliably.

This isn't a role where you clock in, fix one thing, and clock off. Our plants are complex, fast-moving environments where no two shifts are ever the same. You'll be working across mechanical and electrical disciplines, responding to both planned and unplanned maintenance, driving continuous improvement, and playing a real part in keeping production running at its best.

With automation on the rise, staying ahead is non-negotiable - and our engineers are right at the sharp end of that challenge. If you thrive under pressure, love problem-solving, and want to feel genuinely proud of what you do, this is the environment for you.

We recruit at all levels of engineering, from skilled craftspeople through to team leaders and charge hands. Whether you're a hands-on engineer, or someone who's ready to step into a leadership position and bring a team with you, we want to hear from you. Roles vary across our sites in terms of shift patterns and specific focus areas - but all share the same core: technical excellence, safety-first thinking, and a drive to keep our plants performing at their very best.

• Carrying out planned and reactive maintenance across the manufacturing site, keeping plant and equipment running reliably and safely
• Diagnosing faults quickly and effectively - getting to root cause and putting lasting fixes in place
• Working closely with production teams to make sure standards are always being met and any issues are communicated clearly and promptly
• Contributing to and leading continuous improvement activity, finding smarter, faster, better ways to do things
• Using and updating our Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to maintain accurate records of all work completed
• Supporting lean manufacturing principles and helping embed best practice across the team
• Working safely at all times, taking personal responsibility for your own wellbeing and that of everyone around you
• At more senior levels: organising and prioritising shift workloads, providing technical support to the team, and ensuring contractors are inducted and working safely on site

• NVQ Level 2/3, BTEC Level 3, or City & Guilds Part 3 in a relevant engineering discipline — one of these is essential
• A time-served apprenticeship — essential
• HNC or National Certificate (ONC) in a relevant discipline — desirable
• IOSH or NEBOSH certificate — desirable

• Proven experience in a maintenance role within a manufacturing or industrial environment
• Strong fault-finding skills across both electrical and mechanical systems
• Knowledge of SCADA systems and PLC fault finding — desirable
• Understanding of modern maintenance techniques and lean manufacturing principles
• Familiarity with health and safety legislation and safe systems of work
• Experience using a CMMS or similar maintenance management tool

• Genuinely multi-skilled — confident working across disciplines
• A natural problem solver who acts on their own initiative
• Strong communicator who can explain technical information clearly to both engineering and operational colleagues
• Able to work at pace without cutting corners — organised, prioritised, and calm under pressure
• A team player who lifts others around them, not just themselves
• Computer literate — comfortable with Microsoft Windows and Office applications

Although we do encourage you to taste the goods, you'll be pleased to know we don't pay you in chips. Our engineering salaries are competitive within the local area, and we can share the details once you've applied. Alongside your salary, you'll enjoy:
