Lead Engineer

As our next Lead Engineer (Engineering Team Leader), you will play a key role in providing both technical leadership and hands-on engineering expertise within our Glasgow bakery.

We are specifically looking for an electrically qualified engineer with strong automation and controls experience who can act as a technical expert on shift. You will need to be confident fault-finding on complex electrical and automated equipment, supporting your engineering team through technical issues and driving effective root-cause solutions to improve equipment reliability.

This is a hands-on leadership role, so alongside leading and developing the engineering team, you will be expected to provide technical support during breakdowns, planned maintenance and improvement activities.

Working within a fast-paced manufacturing environment, you will ensure safe working practices while supporting production through effective preventative maintenance, planned engineering works and rapid response to breakdowns. Strong communication, prioritisation and escalation skills will be essential to ensuring resources are effectively deployed and downtime is minimised.

You will work a Pitman rotating shift pattern, providing an excellent balance between work and time away from site.
