Engineering Supervisor

We are recruiting for an experienced Engineering Supervisor to join a food manufacturing business based in Hull on a permanent basis.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced engineering professional with a strong background in food manufacturing and a good understanding of BRC compliance.
Ideally, we are looking for an engineer with a balanced 50/50 electrical and mechanical skill set. However, candidates with a stronger mechanical bias will also be considered, provided they have sound electrical fault-finding capabilities and the experience needed to support a busy production environment.
You will be responsible for overseeing the engineering function for one production line, leading a small team and ensuring equipment reliability, minimising downtime and maintaining high standards of food safety and compliance.

• Drive planned and preventative maintenance to reduce unplanned downtime.
• Respond to breakdowns and work closely with production to maintain output and efficiency.
• Ensure engineering activities meet food safety, BRC compliance, health and safety and site standards.
• Maintain accurate engineering records and documentation.
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and improved equipment reliability.

• Previous experience in an engineering supervisory or team leader role within food manufacturing is essential.
• A strong mechanical engineering background, ideally complemented by good electrical skills.
• Candidates with a balanced 50/50 electrical/mechanical skill set are preferred, although a more mechanically biased engineer will also be considered.
• Good knowledge of BRC standards and compliance within a food production environment.
• Experience maintaining and fault-finding on production machinery.
• Experience supporting or managing a small engineering team.
• A hands‑on, proactive approach with strong problem‑solving skills.
• Flexibility to support the business when production demands require it.

• Monday to Friday, 8:00am4:00pm.
• Flexibility required for earlier starts and later finishes when needed.
• Occasional weekend work may be required, generally around two weekends per month if necessary, paid at an overtime rate.

• £50,000 per annum
• Permanent, direct employment.
• Monday to Friday standard working hours.
• Additional overtime opportunities for weekend work.
• Responsibility for a dedicated production line and a small engineering team.

If you have the relevant food manufacturing engineering experience and BRC knowledge, and are looking for your next supervisory opportunity, we'd like to hear from you.
