Multiskilled Engineer | -58,830 | 4 On / 4 Off

Lincolnshire | Food Manufacturing | Days & Nights

-58,830 + benefits

Are you a Multiskilled Maintenance Engineer looking for a well-paid 4-on/4-off role within a large, highly automated food manufacturing site?

We''re recruiting for an established food manufacturer in Lincolnshire with significant ongoing investment in people, equipment and engineering infrastructure.

This is a hands-on role where you''ll work across production and packaging equipment, carrying out planned and reactive maintenance, fault finding and continuous improvement.



The Shift

4 Days On | 4 Days Off | 4 Nights On | 4 Days Off

Days: 05:30-17:30
Nights: 17:30-05:30

A structured continental shift pattern giving you substantial time away from work between rotations.



The Role

You''ll help keep a high-output manufacturing operation running safely and efficiently.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Reactive and planned maintenance

  • Electrical and mechanical fault finding

  • Breakdown response and fault diagnosis

  • Preventative maintenance and root cause analysis

  • Supporting continuous improvement projects

  • Identifying and reducing repeat failures

  • Working closely with production to minimise downtime

  • Improving equipment reliability and performance

  • Maintaining high standards of engineering and site safety

You''ll work across a varied range of manufacturing and packaging equipment, so this is a good fit for an engineer who enjoys technical variety rather than doing the same repair every shift.



What We''re Looking For

We''re looking for a time-served Multiskilled Engineer or someone with a recognised engineering qualification and strong practical experience.

You''ll ideally have:

  • Strong electrical and mechanical maintenance experience

  • Industrial fault-finding experience

  • Experience with automated production or packaging equipment

  • Experience within FMCG, food, manufacturing, packaging or a similar environment

  • Planned and reactive maintenance experience

  • A proactive approach to problem solving and continuous improvement

  • Ability to work calmly and effectively in a fast-paced production environment

An apprenticeship or recognised engineering qualification would be advantageous.



What''s On Offer?

  • -58,830 salary

  • 4 days on / 4 days off / 4 nights on / 4 days off

  • 05:30-17:30 / 17:30-05:30

  • Stable, permanent opportunity

  • Major food manufacturing business

  • Significant investment in engineering and site infrastructure

  • Ongoing training and development

  • Genuine opportunities for career progression



Why This Role?

This is more than a breakdown-and-repair position.

You''ll have the opportunity to get involved in reliability, root cause analysis and continuous improvement, with the support and investment of a major manufacturing operation.

If you''re an engineer who enjoys fault finding, solving problems and improving machinery, this is a strong opportunity to join a site where engineering genuinely matters.
