The Opportunity

This is a hands-on Electrical Engineer role within a fast-paced, high-volume manufacturing environment where engineering truly drives performance.

You’ll play a critical part in keeping production moving — responding to breakdowns, improving reliability, and ensuring equipment delivers against key operational targets. This isn’t a back-office role. You’ll be on the factory floor, working closely with operations, solving problems in real time, and making a measurable impact on output, efficiency and safety.

The Role

As an Electrical Engineer, you will:

* Respond quickly and safely to plant breakdowns and stoppages

* Carry out fault finding and repair across a range of production machinery

* Work on single and three-phase electrical systems

* Deliver both reactive and planned maintenance (PPM) activities

* Maintain and optimise equipment to maximise performance and uptime

* Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance OEE and reliability

* Use SAP to accurately record engineering labour and parts usage

* Work collaboratively with engineering leadership and external specialists on complex faults

* Ensure all machinery operates to required product and quality specifications

What You’ll Be Measured On

* First-time fix rate on breakdowns

* Completion and accuracy of PPM tasks

* Contribution to equipment reliability and uptime

* Safety engagement and observations (BSO)

Health & Safety

Safety is central to everything on site. You will:

* Follow all Health & Safety procedures and safe systems of work

* Use Lock Out / Tag Out (LOTO) at all times where required

* Wear appropriate PPE and report hazards immediately

* Support a culture of safe working across the engineering and production teams

* Assist in training new starters and apprentices

What We’re Looking For

* NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering (UK recognised)

* Strong fault-finding and problem-solving capability

* Experience working in a fast-paced manufacturing or industrial environment

* Ability to work under pressure and respond decisively

* Good communication skills and attention to detail

* A proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement

The Environment

You’ll be joining a large, well-established food manufacturing business supplying major retailers and food service providers across the UK and Europe.

With a workforce of over 20,000 people, the organisation is built around quality, consistency and operational excellence. Engineering plays a vital role in delivering this — ensuring production runs efficiently, safely and to the highest standards every day
