Electrically Biased Maintenance Engineer

Sheffield area | 4 on 4 off - Days & Nights | Food Manufacturing

Let's be honest, some engineering roles are just glorified callouts.
Chase alarms. Reset faults. Repeat until retirement.

This isn't that.

This is a proper maintenance role, with a business that wants engineers who think as well as fix. It's electrical bias, but you won't be sat behind a laptop all shift - they want someone who can get stuck in, figure things out fast, and keep the wheels turning.

The shift?
4 on, 4 off. Days and nights.
Yes, it's a slog sometimes — but there's structure, routine, and half the year off if you play your cards right.

You'll be part of a team that actually works together (no lone-wolf heroics or finger-pointing), on a site that's big on continuous improvement and not just held together by cable ties and crossed fingers.

What you'll be doing:

Keeping the kit running without needing to call an external every 5 minutes

Getting hands-on with planned maintenance, upgrades and occasional head-scratchers

Fault finding across electrical systems (and ideally knowing your way around a PLC screen)

Working with a team that values common sense over job titles

What you'll need:

Solid electrical background (FMCG or food would be spot on)

The ability to keep calm when the kit isn't

A bit of initiative, a bit of pride in your work, and the ability to crack on without drama

There's a good team in place. The kit's decent and getting better.
You won't be micromanaged, and your input won't vanish into the void.

If you're an engineer who wants to do more than just keep things ticking over - this is probably worth a conversation.

Apply, message, shout across the factory floor — your call
