Multi Skilled Engineer

Multi-Skilled Engineer (Food Manufacturing)
Attleborough, Norfolk
£48,000
Double Days Shift Pattern

This is a family-owned food manufacturing business with a small, close-knit engineering team and none of the usual corporate noise.

The engineering function is led by a strong Engineering Manager who knows what good looks like and gives people the space to get on with the job properly.

They're not chasing a perfect CV. They're looking for a good engineer from a food or similar production background who wants to get stuck in and be part of a team that actually works together.

What you'll be doing

• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) across production equipment
• Responding to breakdowns and getting lines back up and running quickly
• Diagnosing and repairing electrical and mechanical faults
• Supporting continuous production and reducing downtime
• Working closely with production to resolve issues properly
• Completing maintenance records and supporting site systems
• Contributing to general improvement and reliability activity

What we're looking for

• Multi-skilled engineering background
• Experience in food manufacturing or similar production environment
• Confident fault-finding across electrical and mechanical systems
• Experience with PPM and reactive maintenance
• Positive attitude and willingness to get involved
• Comfortable working within a small team where everyone pulls their weight
• Strong awareness of health and safety

The reality of the role

This is not a layered, process-heavy environment.

It's a smaller site where people know each other, decisions happen quickly, and engineers are trusted to do their job without being buried in unnecessary systems.

If you want structure, autonomy and a team that actually functions without politics, it's a good place to be. If you need corporate layers and endless sign-off processes, you'll find it a bit too straightforward.
