Job Description:

Location; Nottingham

Are you a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer who enjoys working nights and taking ownership of your shift? Working Monday - Friday 8 hour shifts!

Would you like to join a growing food manufacturing business where maintenance is focused on prevention rather than firefighting, giving you the opportunity to make a real impact on equipment reliability and site performance?

We are working with a well-established artisan bakery business in Nottingham that has experienced significant growth over recent years. Following the successful launch of a new long-term retail contract, continued investment in production facilities and the introduction of new manufacturing equipment, the business is expanding its engineering team to support a move towards 24-hour production.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join a close-knit engineering team on a permanent night shift. Working largely independently during the night operation, you will take ownership of planned maintenance activities, equipment reliability and continuous improvement projects across the site.

Unlike many night shift maintenance roles that are heavily reactive, this position offers a genuine opportunity to focus on preventative maintenance, asset care and engineering improvements. The successful engineer will have the autonomy to organise and prioritise work while being supported by an experienced day engineering team.

This role would suit an electrically biased engineer or a mechanically biased engineer with strong electrical competency, who enjoys responsibility, problem-solving and working within a growing business where engineering is genuinely valued.

Responsibilities of a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer:

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance across bakery production and packaging equipment

• Diagnose and repair electrical and mechanical faults when required

• Take ownership of equipment reliability during the night shift

• Support continuous improvement projects and machinery upgrades

• Manage engineering stores, critical spares and asset care activities

• Maintain bakery production equipment and site facilities

• Complete maintenance records and ensure engineering documentation is up to date

• Liaise effectively with production teams and engineering colleagues during shift handovers

• Identify opportunities to improve maintenance practices and machine performance

Skills & Qualifications of a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer:

• NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds, BTEC or equivalent engineering qualification

• Electrical or Mechanical bias considered

• Mechanically biased engineers must be electrically competent

• Minimum of 3 years' maintenance experience within manufacturing or FMCG environments

• Strong electrical and mechanical fault-finding capability

• Ability to work independently and manage workload effectively

• Experience carrying out preventative maintenance programmes

• Positive, proactive approach to engineering and continuous improvement

• Full right to work in the UK

Benefits of a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer:

• Permanent nights: Monday to Friday, 21:00 – 05:00

• Basic salary: £52,000

• 1 in 5 Saturday cover paid at enhanced rates

• 22 days annual leave plus bank holidays

• Growing business with significant recent investment

• Stable long-term retail contracts driving continued expansion

• Opportunity to take ownership of engineering activities on nights

• Varied role with a strong focus on preventative maintenance and improvement projects

• Supportive and well-established engineering team

• Long-term career stability within a growing food manufacturing business
