Multiskilled Shift Engineer

We're looking for a practical and proactive Multi-Skilled Engineer with a Mechanical Bias to join our Northampton engineering team.

Working alongside another Shift Engineer, you'll be responsible for keeping production equipment running through a combination of planned maintenance, breakdown response, fault finding and continuous improvement activities.

This is a hands-on role where you'll have the opportunity to diagnose complex faults, deliver permanent engineering solutions, and make a real impact on site performance. While we're ideally looking for someone with strong mechanical skills, you'll also be comfortable supporting electrical fault finding and repairs when required.

Previous manufacturing experience is beneficial, but attitude, problem-solving ability and a willingness to learn are just as important.

Working safely at all times and following site safety procedures and permit systems.

Carrying out planned preventative maintenance across production lines and plant equipment.

Responding to breakdowns and restoring equipment safely and efficiently.

Identifying root causes and implementing long-term engineering solutions.

Maintaining site assets to ensure reliability and performance targets are met.

Recording maintenance activities using SAP (training provided).

Supporting engineering standards and continuous improvement initiatives.

Managing spare parts usage and maintaining accurate records.

Working closely with production teams to minimise downtime and maximise output.

Supporting shift cover and overtime requirements when needed.
