Get Off Shifts. Get Your Evenings Back. Enjoy a Better Work-Life Balance.

The Collective Network are supporting a well-established food manufacturing group with over a century of industry presence and a strong reputation for quality, development, and continuous improvement.
This opportunity is ideal for engineers who are ready to step away from shift patterns and move into a stable days-based engineering role with long-term career prospects and a genuinely supportive culture.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Straight days - no nights, no rotating shifts
• A culture focused on developing people & investing in site improvements
• Overtime paid at x1.5

Key responsibilities include:

• Delivering periodic & condition-based PPM on production equipment
• Quick and efficient fault-finding and breakdown response
• Fabricating and machining parts (lathe, milling, welding)
• Supporting CI projects and operational improvements
• Working with the Operations team to maximise equipment performance
• Ongoing training and development to maintain professional competence
• There will be an on-call requirement which will include a standby charge and increased rate if called out.

What You''ll Bring

• Level 3 Engineering qualification (Electrical/Mechanical)
• Strong mechanical & electrical fault-finding ability
• Ability to read mechanical and electrical drawings
• Confident with fabrication and machining techniques
• Able to work at height and in confined spaces
• Understanding of hydraulics, pneumatics & motion control
