Mechanical / Multi-discipline Engineer - Pharmaceutical Facility

Sunderland, UK

Join us and keep a busy GMP-regulated site operating at its best. At Curaleaf, we are looking for a hands‑on Facilities Engineer to join our Sunderland site. You’ll combine hands‑on maintenance with proactive project work to keep our production areas, clean rooms, warehouse, and offices safe and compliant. If you enjoy variety, making an impact on site, and being part of a fast‑growing, innovative company, this is the role for you!

As Facilities Engineer, you’ll partner with multiple teams to maintain reliable equipment and site operations in a regulated environment. No two days are the same – you could be fault‑finding on HVAC systems one day, and supporting new equipment installation the next!

• Conduct mechanical and electrical fault‑finding, repairs, and improvements.
• Supervise contractors to ensure safety and GMP standards.
• Maintain accurate, audit‑ready documentation.
• Assist with cleanroom, HVAC, and utility upkeep.
• Participate in planned shutdowns, audits and checks.
• Drive continuous improvement and a proactive engineering culture.

This role also involves some on‑call support outside normal working hours and at weekends.

We're looking for a self‑motivated, hands‑on problem‑solver. You'll be comfortable supporting a wide range of site maintenance tasks, from critical systems to general facilities upkeep.

You will have:

• Experience in manufacturing, GMP, or regulated environments.
• Engineering qualification (Level 3 NVQ, ONC, or City & Guilds).
• Hands‑on mechanical and electrical fault‑finding and problem‑solving.
• Knowledge of building services, facilities systems, and preventative maintenance techniques.
• Experience using CMMS systems and digital reporting.
• Strong communication, organisation, and prioritisation skills.
• Flexible attitude, including willingness to support planned weekend engineering work.
• Understanding of safe systems of work, permits, and contractor management.

• IOSH or NEBOSH qualification.
• Experience in GMP, pharmaceutical or cleanroom environments.
• Knowledge of HVAC, utilities, or building management systems (BMS).
• Experience with root cause analysis (RCA) and reliability improvements.

• Competitive salary.
• Personal bonus scheme.
• Private medical insurance.
