Shift Engineer

Shift Engineer (Electrical Bias) – £51,000 – Lichfield
Panama Shift Pattern – 12-hour days & nights, rotating

If you like the idea of keeping a factory full of shiny new kit running – and don’t mind occasionally swearing at it when it stops – read on.

This is an electrical bias role, but you’ll still need to get your hands dirty with the mechanical side. It’s a mix of planned maintenance and “it’s just broken, fix it now” moments. The good news? You’ll be working in a site that’s had serious investment in equipment and technology, so you won’t be spending all day coaxing antiques back to life.

The work:

• Keep production equipment running.

• Fix breakdowns quickly (downtime is expensive and nobody likes it).

• Do the planned maintenance that stops things breaking in the first place.

• Help with start-ups, testing, and fine-tuning.

• Log everything properly so nobody’s guessing what happened.

What you’ll need:

• An NVQ Level 3 or City & Guilds Level 3 in Engineering (or equivalent apprenticeship).

• Strong electrical skills, with decent mechanical knowledge too.

• Manufacturing experience – food is a bonus, not a deal-breaker.

• A proactive, safety-first approach.

What’s in it for you:

• £51k salary.

• 23 days’ holiday (goes up with service) + buy more if you want.

• Free staff transport from Lichfield, Burton, Cannock, Rugeley & Burntwood.

• Life Assurance – 3x salary.

• 24/7 access to GP, mental health support, and legal advice.

• Tailored training & development – because getting better at your job should be part of the job.

• Discounts, gym/bike schemes, recognition awards… the usual perks.

If you can keep the lines moving and don’t mind the odd night shift, send your CV or give me a call.
