Ballantine Recruitment is supporting a growing manufacturing business in Liverpool with the appointment of an experienced Multi-Skilled Shift Engineer.
This is a genuine hands-on engineering position within a fast-paced production environment. You’ll be responsible for keeping equipment running, responding quickly to breakdowns and making sure planned maintenance is completed properly — while also getting involved in continuous improvement and engineering projects.
The site operates a varied mix of automated production and packaging equipment, so this isn’t a role where you’ll be working on the same piece of kit every day.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
• Electrical and mechanical fault finding
• Reactive breakdown maintenance
• Planned preventative maintenance using CMMS
• Siemens PLC fault finding / navigation
• Conveyors, sensors, switches and pumps
• Packaging machinery, shrink wrappers and palletisers
• Compressed air and steam generation systems
• Supporting continuous improvement and engineering projects
• Working with contractors, permits and site inductions
• Ensuring engineering activity meets site HSE requirements
𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿:
Ideally, you’ll be an electrically biased Multi-Skilled Engineer who is comfortable fault finding independently and making good decisions under pressure.
You’ll need:
• A time-served Electrical Apprenticeship / NVQ Level 3
• HNC/HND Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
• Strong electrical fault-finding capability
• Sound mechanical engineering knowledge
• Previous FMCG / manufacturing experience
• Experience with conveyors and automated packaging equipment
• Experience with bottling / canning environments would be highly relevant
• PLC knowledge – Siemens / TIA Portal preferred
• LOTO and permit-to-work experience
Steam boiler / BOAS experience and LEAN qualifications would also be advantageous.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗲:
* £53,795
* 2 Days / 2 Nights / 4 Off
* 23 days annual leave
* Employer pension contribution
* Free onsite parking
* Employee Assistance Programme
This could be a strong move for an engineer who enjoys being close to the equipment, solving problems and taking ownership, rather than simply completing a maintenance schedule.
If you’re an experienced Engineer in the Liverpool / North West market and would like to know more, drop me a message and I’ll give you a call.
