Night Shift Maintenance Engineer

Night Shift Maintenance Engineer      
(Food/FMCG)
£55,000+

This is a night shift maintenance engineer role on a large, fast-paced food manufacturing site in West London. It’s permanent, site-based, and ideal for someone who likes getting on with the job without any nonsense attached.

The shift is an 8 hour rather than 12 hour shift. You’ll be working 5 nights out of 7 keeping production running, fixing problems properly, and improving reliability rather than just resetting alarms and moving on.

The Role:

You’ll be part of an established engineering team, responsible for maintaining and improving a wide range of food processing and packaging equipment.

This is a hands-on maintenance role where you’ll be expected to:

Carry out planned, predictive and reactive maintenance
Respond to breakdowns and fault-find across electrical and mechanical systems
Work on automation, instrumentation, pneumatics and basic PLC-controlled equipment
Support changeovers, set-ups and adjustments alongside production
Contribute to continuous improvement and reliability initiatives
Keep maintenance records accurate and audit-ready
Work safely and in line with food safety and site procedures
There’s plenty of variety here so no two nights look the same.

What they’re looking for:

This role suits a multi-skilled engineer with an electrical bias.

You’ll need:

A recognised engineering apprenticeship (NVQ Level 3/4, C&G, EAL or similar)
Solid fault-finding experience in a manufacturing or FMCG environment
Electrical and mechanical knowledge covering motors, sensors, PLCs, hydraulics and pneumatics
A good understanding of safe systems of work and food safety standards
Confidence using CMMS systems and following SOPs
Experience in food manufacturing is useful, but strong process or FMCG backgrounds will also be considered.

Why it’s worth a look:

This is a stable role on a large, well-invested site with clear processes, proper training, and a business that takes engineering seriously. If you’re a night-shift engineer who likes ownership, consistency, and decent kit to work on, it’s a solid option.
