Description:
Permanent Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer
Location: Outskirts of Bristol (East / South-East)
Pay: £19.00 – £23.00 per hour (Equivalent to £39,500 – £53,800 per annum depending on experience and hours worked)
Hours: Monday to Friday, 5:00am – 2:00pm or 9:00am – 6:00pm (Average 40 to 45 hours per week - Flexibility needed to start earlier / finish later as and when required)
Contract: Permanent
We are currently recruiting for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join a highly successful, fast-paced food manufacturing and production site located on the outskirts of Bristol. This is a secure, permanent role offering great earning potential, consistent hours and an excellent long-term career path.
The Role & Shift Pattern:
This is a dynamic, hands-on role requiring strong flexibility. You will work an average of 40 to 45 hours per week on a Monday-to-Friday rotation. The primary shifts are 5:00am – 2:00pm and 9:00am – 6:00pm, but you must be fully flexible to accommodate early starts, late finishes or extended hours to support breakdown cover and production needs.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive breakdown repairs on complex production machinery.
* Diagnosing and fault-finding on both mechanical and electrical systems across the factory floor.
* Ensuring all manufacturing and packaging lines run at optimal efficiency with minimal downtime.
* Working closely with production teams to safely modify, upgrade, and install equipment.
* Documenting maintenance logs accurately and adhering to strict site safety and food manufacturing standards.
What We’re Looking For:
* Multi-Skilled Capability: Strong hands-on experience in both mechanical and electrical engineering.
* Industry Experience: Previous maintenance work within a food production, FMCG, or similar high-volume manufacturing environment is highly beneficial.
* Qualifications: Formal engineering certificates or electrical qualifications are an advantage, but proven hands-on experience and a strong technical skill set are highly valued.
* Flexibility: A genuine willingness to adapt to changing shift patterns, late finishes, or early starts when production demands it.
* Transport: Due to the shifting hours and site location, your own reliable transport is essential.
What’s On Offer:
* Competitive hourly rate from £19.00 to £23.00 per hour (DOE).
* High earning potential with an average of 40 to 45 hours per week paid.
* Stable, permanent Monday-to-Friday schedule.
* Opportunity to work with a supportive, growing production business
