The business has seen significant investment in recent years, with new lines, modern equipment and a strong focus on efficiency, reliability and sustainable manufacturing.

What You’ll Do:

Working as part of a close knit engineering team in a high volume FMCG environment, you will keep a modern production facility running safely, efficiently and reliably on a 4 on 4 off continental shift pattern (2 days, 2 nights).

You will:

• Carry out planned, preventative and reactive maintenance on a range of production machinery, keeping downtime to a minimum and output to a maximum
• Fault find across mechanical and/or electrical systems, identifying root causes rather than just treating symptoms
• Support continuous improvement activity, spotting opportunities to enhance reliability, efficiency and safety across the lines
• Work closely with production colleagues to prioritise work, respond quickly to breakdowns and keep the plant running smoothly
• Make sure all work is completed safely, accurately recorded and compliant with site, H&S and regulatory standards
• Contribute to small projects, modifications and upgrades as the site continues to invest in new equipment and capability
• Play your part in a stable, multi skilled engineering team of around four engineers per shift, supporting and sharing knowledge with others

What You’ll Bring:

• Time served apprenticeship or minimum NVQ Level 3 in an engineering discipline (mechanical or electrical)
• Proven experience as a Maintenance Engineer, Shift Engineer or similar in manufacturing, ideally within FMCG, food, drink or a high speed production environment
• Strong fault finding skills, able to diagnose issues across mechanical and/or electrical systems and implement robust fixes
• A proactive approach to maintenance, with experience of PPM and a continuous improvement mindset
• A solid understanding of health and safety in a manufacturing setting and the confidence to work safely at all times
• The ability to work effectively on a 4 on 4 off shift pattern, including days and nights
• Good communication skills and a team focused attitude, comfortable working with operators, engineers and leadership
• Self motivation, enthusiasm and the resilience to thrive in a busy, fast moving environment

Why You Should Apply:

• Highly competitive salary of £48,000
• Excellent pension scheme where your contributions are topped up by the employer at a very attractive level
• Access to a flexible benefits platform, including the option to buy private medical cover at a reduced rate
• Secure, permanent role with a global, well invested manufacturer that continues to grow and add new lines
• Join a settled, supportive engineering team where your ideas for improvements will be listened to and acted on
• Genuine opportunities for training and development as you progress your career within a large organisation
• Work in a picturesque part of West Wales, while still gaining experience with a complex, modern manufacturing site
