I'm working with a well-established and rapidly growing food manufacturing business in Sheffield that is looking to add an experienced Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to its Engineering Team.

This is a hands‑on maintenance position, responsible for ensuring production equipment operates safely, reliably and efficiently across a fast‑paced manufacturing site.

• Record maintenance activity accurately using the site's Shire System CMMS
• Work closely with Production to resolve engineering issues and minimise disruption
• Assist with machinery installations, upgrades and engineering projects
• Maintain engineering standards and ensure work is completed in accordance with site Health & Safety requirements
• Support the maintenance and improvement of site utilities and general engineering infrastructure where required

• A time-served or suitably qualified Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer
• Previous experience within food, FMCG or another fast‑paced manufacturing environment
• Strong electrical and mechanical fault‑finding capability
• Experience maintaining automated production and/or packaging machinery
• Ability to read electrical drawings and diagnose faults through control panels, sensors, motors, drives and associated equipment
• Experience using a CMMS system would be advantageous

• £48,000–£50,000 per annum
• Monday–Friday double-days shift pattern
• Permanent position within an established and growing food manufacturer
• Hands‑on role with a good balance of planned and reactive maintenance
• Exposure to engineering projects, equipment installations and continuous improvement
• Ongoing investment in the site and Engineering function
• Training and development opportunities
• Genuine long‑term progression as the business continues to grow

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Maintenance Engineer looking for a well‑paid Monday–Friday position within a growing food manufacturing environment.
