Are you a Maintenance Engineer looking for long-term job security, genuine career progression and the opportunity to develop your skills within a major UK manufacturing group?
We are working with a leading food manufacturing business operating multiple production sites across the UK, supplying major retailers and foodservice customers nationwide. The West Bromwich facility is a large-scale poultry processing operation where engineering plays a critical role in maintaining production performance, product quality and operational efficiency.

The site continues to invest in both equipment and people, creating an environment where engineers are encouraged to develop their technical skills, contribute to improvement projects and build long-term careers.

You'll work alongside experienced engineers within a structured team where support, training and knowledge sharing are part of the culture, with genuine opportunities for progression across a large multi-site manufacturing group.
