Mechanical Engineer - New Production Projects
£48,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits | Milton Keynes | 4 on 4 off Days & Nights
If you enjoy projects, problem-solving and getting involved before production starts, this could be an excellent opportunity to develop your engineering career.
You'll join a business that genuinely invests in training, development and progression, with the opportunity to work on new production projects from installation through to commissioning and full production.
Rather than simply maintaining existing machinery, you'll be involved in bringing new equipment online, solving problems and improving reliability from day one.

£46,000 starting salary
£2,132 annual night shift allowance
Performance-related bonus
Company pension scheme
Personal health plan
Shopping and gym membership discounts
Company sick pay
Income protection plan
Life assurance, subject to length of service
Excellent training and development opportunities
Genuine opportunities for progression
Shift Pattern
4 on, 4 off rotating days and nights
06:00-18:00
18:00-06:00
Small variations may occur depending on operational requirements.
The Role
You'll play a key role in bringing new production equipment online and ensuring it performs reliably from day one.
Your responsibilities will include:
Installing and commissioning new machinery
Supporting equipment testing and start-up
Mechanical fault finding and problem solving
Working alongside specialist engineers and suppliers
Identifying improvements during commissioning
Supporting the transition from project phase into full production
Improving equipment reliability and performance
You'll gain exposure to new machinery, commissioning, projects and automation, alongside your core mechanical engineering responsibilities.
What We're Looking For
Mechanical engineering experience within manufacturing
Strong fault-finding and maintenance skills
Experience with production machinery and automated equipment
A proactive approach to problem solving
Good communication and teamwork skills
Food manufacturing experience would be advantageous but isn't essential.
Additional qualifications such as electrical competency, IPAF or FLT licences would be beneficial, although training can be provided.
Why Consider It?
The real attraction here is development.
You'll be involved in projects from an early stage, giving you the chance to understand new equipment, work with specialist suppliers and help shape how machinery performs once it enters production.
The company also has a strong focus on training and progression, making this a great opportunity for an engineer who wants to broaden their technical skills and build towards the next stage of their career.
If you're looking for a role where you can learn, work on projects and progress, rather than simply maintain the same equipment every shift, this is well worth considering.
