Shift Engineer (Electrical Bias) – £51,000 – Lichfield
Panama Shift Pattern – 12-hour days & nights, rotating

If you like the idea of keeping a factory full of shiny new kit running – and don’t mind occasionally swearing at it when it stops – read on.

This is an electrical bias role, but you’ll still need to get your hands dirty with the mechanical side. It’s a mix of planned maintenance and “it’s just broken, fix it now” moments. The good news? You’ll be working in a site that’s had serious investment in equipment and technology, so you won’t be spending all day coaxing antiques back to life.

The work:

• Keep production equipment running.

• Fix breakdowns quickly (downtime is expensive and nobody likes it).

• Do the planned maintenance that stops things breaking in the first place.

• Help with start-ups, testing, and fine-tuning.

• Log everything properly so nobody’s guessing what happened.

What you’ll need:

• An NVQ Level 3 or City & Guilds Level 3 in Engineering (or equivalent apprenticeship).

• Strong electrical skills, with decent mechanical knowledge too.

• Manufacturing experience – food is a bonus, not a deal-breaker.

• A proactive, safety-first approach.

What’s in it for you:

• £51k salary.

• 23 days’ holiday (goes up with service) + buy more if you want.

• Free staff transport from Lichfield, Burton, Cannock, Rugeley & Burntwood.

• Life Assurance – 3x salary.

• 24/7 access to GP, mental health support, and legal advice.

• Tailored training & development – because getting better at your job should be part of the job.

• Discounts, gym/bike schemes, recognition awards… the usual perks.

If you can keep the lines moving and don’t mind the odd night shift, send your CV or give me a call.

Maintenance Engineer – FMCG – 4 on / 4 off

You know those job ads that promise “career progression” without actually telling you what that looks like?
This isn’t one of them.

If you’re good at what you do, the team here will notice. That’s partly because they’re big on developing their own people, but mainly because you’ll be sat in the middle of one of the area’s largest FMCG manufacturing sites, keeping the whole thing moving. If you’re useless, they’ll notice that too.

The scenery? Let’s just say the drive to work here is better than your last holiday brochure. Shame you’ll mostly be looking at conveyor belts, motors and sensors instead.

What you’ll actually be doing:

• Fixing stuff before it breaks and fixing other stuff after it does.

• Mechanical and electrical maintenance (fault finding, sensors, motors, conveyors).

• Reducing downtime.

• Projects and continuous improvement, which is code for “making things run better without being told every five minutes.”

Shifts:
4 on, 4 off. Two days, two nights. 12 hours each. Overtime if you fancy it.

What you need to bring:

• You’ve worked as a Maintenance Engineer before. Food/FMCG background is nice, but not essential.

• NVQ Level 3 or City & Guilds in Engineering.

• Health & Safety knowledge that extends beyond “don’t stick your fingers in moving parts.”

The perks:
22 days’ holiday (plus bank holidays). Pension. Life cover. Cycle-to-work scheme if you enjoy Lycra.

If you’re still reading, you’re probably either interested or very bored. Either way, give me a call. We’ll keep it confidential.

Maintenance Engineer – FMCG – 4 on / 4 off

Looking for a role where you can make a real impact? Good. Because without you, the production lines stop. And when that happens, people get twitchy.

Your job? Keep the place running. That means fixing things that break, stopping other things from breaking, and spotting the stuff that could run better if someone actually thought about it. That “someone” is you.

You’ll be fault-finding and repairing electrical, mechanical and pneumatic kit, as well as troubleshooting automation systems. Yes, it’s hands-on. No, it’s not just standing around with a spanner looking important.

Why bother applying?

• 4-on, 4-off (2 days, 2 nights) – 12-hour shifts.

• Salary that won’t make you cry + annual bonus based on company performance.

• Decent holiday allowance.

• Career progression across multiple UK sites.

• Retail discounts, life cover, pension, free parking.

What we need from you:

• Recognised apprenticeship (NVQ or above) – electrical preferred.

• Strong electrical & mechanical fault-finding skills.

• Manufacturing experience (food/FMCG is nice to have, not a deal-breaker).

This isn’t about “helping to deliver our vision” or “embracing our mission statement”. It’s about keeping millions of pounds worth of kit running, so the business makes money, and you keep getting paid.
