Engineering Team Leader

Let's be honest. Engineering in food manufacturing isn't glamorous. It's noisy, it's fast-paced, things break when you least want them to, and half the battle is fixing kit that really doesn't care about your weekend plans.
If that still excites you rather than puts you off - keep reading.
We're after an Engineering Shift Leader who can keep a cool head when production goes sideways, make smart decisions on the spot, and get the best out of a team of engineers (including apprentices who need a nudge in the right direction now and then).
You'll be juggling planned maintenance with reactive breakdowns, driving improvements where you can, and reporting on KPIs that actually mean something (downtime, labour hours, spend).
What you'll need:

• Engineering background in FMCG (ideally food, because it's its own beast).
• NVQ Level 3 or above is a must.
• Solid mechanical and electrical know-how.
• Experience leading a shift team without losing your sanity.
• HACCP Level 2 and TPM knowledge would be handy, but not a dealbreaker.

What's in it for you?
A fantastic salary, a decent pension, a bonus scheme, healthcare bits, a pile of benefits (yes, including free fruit), and the chance to work for a profitable business that keeps investing in its people and its kit.
It's tough, it's busy, and it won't suit everyone. But if you're good at what you do and you want to run a shift where things get fixed quickly and properly, this is probably worth a conversation.
