Middlesbrough Area | Food Manufacturing | Days & Nights
Competitive Salary + Benefits
Are you a Maintenance Engineer looking for a genuine 4-on/4-off shift pattern within a large-scale food manufacturing environment?
We're recruiting for one of the UK's leading party food production sites, manufacturing products including bhajis, samosas, onion rings and spring rolls for major UK supermarkets.
The site operates at scale and pace, with a strong engineering team supporting a busy production operation.
This is a hands-on maintenance role covering both mechanical and electrical systems, with a clear focus on fixing faults properly, improving reliability and keeping production moving.
The Shift
4 On / 4 Off | Rotating Days & Nights
A structured shift pattern giving you substantial time away from work between rotations.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll be responsible for maintaining production equipment and responding to faults across the site.
Your responsibilities will include:
Mechanical and electrical breakdown response
Structured fault finding and diagnostics
Planned preventative maintenance
Carrying out repairs safely and efficiently
Recording maintenance activity and corrective actions on the CMMS
Supporting reliability and continuous improvement projects
Identifying and addressing repeat failures
Working closely with production to minimise downtime
Supporting site teams to maintain safe and efficient operation
The focus isn't simply on getting a machine running again. You'll be encouraged to understand why it failed and what can be done to stop it happening again.
What We're Looking For
You'll ideally have:
Experience in a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer or similar role
Recognised engineering qualification in mechanical and/or electrical engineering
Strong mechanical and electrical fault-finding skills
Experience with planned and reactive maintenance
Ability to diagnose faults and work independently
Good problem-solving and communication skills
Ability to work effectively as part of an engineering team
Willingness to work a 4 on / 4 off days and nights rotation
Experience within food manufacturing or FMCG would be useful but isn't essential.
Due to the location and shift times, your own transport would be advantageous.
What's On Offer?
4 on / 4 off shift pattern
Rotating days and nights
Competitive salary
Benefits package including retail discounts
Wellbeing support
Employee assistance programme
Volunteering opportunities
Ongoing training and development
Long-term career opportunities within a growing UK food manufacturing group
Why Join?
You'll be joining a business that is continuing to invest in its manufacturing sites, engineering standards and people.
As the wider group grows, there is genuine opportunity for engineers who want to develop their skills, take on more responsibility and progress their careers.
You'll also be part of an established engineering team where technical competence, teamwork and solving problems properly are valued.
