Job Description:

Multiskilled Engineer - Nightshift
Wembley
£52,000 to £54,000

An established Wembley food manufacturer is looking for a Multiskilled Engineer with an electrical bias to cover its evening shift. Talent Guardian is managing the process on their behalf.

Evening cover on a food production site is where good engineers earn their money. Fewer people on site, less time to wait for a second opinion, and a real premium on getting the diagnosis right first time. If you like the autonomy that comes with that, this will suit you.

The shift Tuesday to Saturday, 14:30 to 00:00. 45 hour contract, fully site based in Wembley. Salary £52,000 to £54,000 per annum, depending on experience. The evening shift carries a premium over the equivalent day role.

The role
Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you will look after planned and reactive maintenance across the plant during evening production. That means strong diagnostics, getting to root cause quickly, and recording everything properly on the CMMS so the day team picks up a clear handover.

You will also be expected to spot improvements. The business wants engineers who flag the recurring issues and suggest the fix, not just the ones who reset the machine and move on.

Your day to day

• Planned preventative maintenance and reactive repairs across production equipment
• Fault diagnosis, root cause analysis and returning equipment to service safely and quickly
• Logging inspections, completed work and faults on the site CMMS
• Routine checks around the workshop and production areas to company schedule
• Identifying and proposing improvements to reliability and line efficiency
• Keeping tools and work areas in good order and reporting defects immediately
• Working to all site health, safety and food safety standards

What you will need

• City and Guilds or NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering or similar
• Two years or more within FMCG or food manufacturing
• Solid electrical and mechanical fault finding in an automated or heavy industrial setting
• Familiarity with tray sealers (Proseal, PA), conveyors, mixers, can openers, oil depositors, vertical baggers, metal detectors, combi units, X-ray, labelling and date coding equipment
• CMMS experience (Shire, Workmate, M-Com or similar)
• Good Excel and Word
• Someone who works well on their own initiative and communicates clearly at all levels

The package

• £52,000 to £54,000 depending on experience
• Permanent, full time, 45 hours
• Tuesday to Saturday evenings, giving you Sunday and Monday off
• A stable engineering team on an established site with ongoing investment
