Engineering Team Leader

Engineering Team Leader | Drinks Manufacturing | Lanarkshire 

Days and backs, Monday to Friday OR  weekend shift

We're working with one of Scotland's best known drinks producers to find Engineering Team Leaders for their high speed production operation in Lanarkshire.

There are three roles. Two are on a days and backs pattern, Monday to Friday. The third is a weekend shift.

This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced maintenance or engineering professional. You'll lead from the front on shift, develop your team and make the lines run better, not just keep them running. The business is putting real focus on reliability and continuous improvement, so this suits someone who wants to fix things for good, not just patch them up.

What you'll be doing

• Coordinating shift activity to get the best out of your team and resources
• Making sure all maintenance is completed safely and in line with company and legislative requirements
• Managing contractors in line with site procedures
• Owning planned and corrective maintenance schedules for production lines and site services
• Driving equipment reliability and continuous improvement projects
• Working closely with Bottling Team Leaders and operations to support line performance
• Reviewing maintenance activity in the CMMS to cut out non-value-adding tasks
• Spotting skills gaps and supporting technician training and development
• Supporting new product introductions, trials, capital projects and line improvements
• Producing technical reports and improvement plans based on operational data

What you'll bring

• A maintenance or engineering background in manufacturing, ideally drinks, FMCG or food production
• Experience leading, coordinating or coaching technical teams
• Strong fault finding and problem solving skills
• A good understanding of planned and preventative maintenance
• Experience with a CMMS such as IFS, SAP or similar
• A continuous improvement mindset and a strong focus on safety
• Good communication skills and the ability to juggle priorities

What's on offer

• Generous holidays with the option to buy or sell days
• Private healthcare and a remote GP service
• Strong pension with employer contributions of up to 10%
• Life assurance
• Product allocation, cycle to work scheme and plenty more

Mechanical or electrical bias is fine. Time served is preferred.
