Maintenance Engineer

Maintenance Engineer (Food Manufacturing) Whitfield, Kent £52,000 You’ll either love shift work or you’ll hate it. If you’re still reading, chances are you're in the first group. This role is a bit of everything: planned maintenance, fault finding, reactive fixes, and being the person who gets machinery back up and running while everyone else is standing around staring at it. There’s a decent mix of hands-on and improvement work, not just running around putting out fires. The site’s fast-paced and the kit you’ll be working on covers everything from electrical to mechanical to a bit of PLC and automation. You don’t need to be an expert in all of it, but an electrical bias is preferred. You'll need an engineering qualification (NVQ Level 3 or equivalent. We’re not fussy about the type), a grasp of health & safety, and ideally a bit of food/FMCG under your belt. CMMS experience and knowledge of motors, pneumatics, and sensors? Bonus points. It’s a proper engineering job, at a proper production site, with solid benefits (pension, life assurance, staff shop, even discounted tutoring if your kids keep asking what a quadratic equation is). Fancy it? Apply and we’ll take it from there. Please apply with an up to date copy of your CV. All applications will receive a response. If you would like a conversation to hear more about this position, please call (phone number removed) and ask for Sam.
