A major UK food‑production business is seeking a Shift Engineer to support its high‑volume manufacturing site. You'll be part of a multi‑skilled engineering team keeping production lines running, solving breakdowns, and driving continuous improvement across a modern facility.

The shift pattern is a 4 on 4 off, rotating 2 days and 2 nights, giving you long stretches of time off and a predictable routine.

Key Responsibilities

• Planned maintenance on production machinery, conveyors, automation systems, and packaging equipment
• Reactive engineering support - diagnosing faults and restoring production quickly
• Continuous improvement - identifying opportunities to reduce downtime and improve efficiency
• Compliance & safety - ensuring all work meets site standards and audit requirements
• Cross‑functional collaboration with production, quality, and operations teams

What You'll Need

• Level 3 Engineering qualification (mechanical, electrical, or multi‑skilled)
• Previous experience in food, manufacturing, FMCG, or a similar high‑speed production environment
• Strong fault‑finding skills and confidence working under pressure
• A proactive approach to engineering and a commitment to high standards

What's on Offer

• £46,000-£54,000, depending on experience
• 4 on / 4 off shift pattern (2 days, 2 nights)
• Long‑term stability with a respected employer
• Opportunities to broaden your skill set across a wide range of factory equipment

Why This Role Stands Out

If you enjoy variety, autonomy, and the satisfaction of keeping a busy production site running smoothly, this role gives you the platform to make a real impact, and the shift pattern gives you the work‑life balance to enjoy your time off.
