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.
