This is an excellent opportunity for a compliance-focused engineering professional to take ownership of statutory engineering compliance, contractor management and engineering governance within a fast-paced FMCG environment. The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring the site remains fully compliant while supporting engineering reliability, operational performance and continuous improvement.

Using engineering data and compliance metrics, the successful candidate will identify opportunities to improve processes, reduce risk and strengthen overall site compliance.

They will have a strong understanding of engineering compliance, contractor management and statutory regulations including PSSR, LOLER and LEV, together with experience using CMMS or compliance management systems.
Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities are essential. The successful candidate will be confident communicating with stakeholders across the business, reviewing technical documentation such as RAMS, issuing permits to work and driving a proactive culture of safety and compliance. A NEBOSH General Certificate or IOSH Managing Safely qualification would be advantageous.
