Description:
Site Services Engineer | FMCG Manufacturing
Sleaford, Lincolnshire | 4 On / 4 Off | Days & Nights | Permanent
Competitive Salary + Excellent Benefits
Are you a qualified engineer who enjoys working on utilities, infrastructure and varied industrial systems, rather than being tied to one production line?
We're recruiting a Site Services Engineer for a large-scale food manufacturing site in Sleaford. You'll be responsible for maintaining the essential plant and services that keep a high-output factory running safely and efficiently.
This is a genuinely varied engineering role covering boilers, refrigeration, water, effluent, mechanical systems and general site services.
The Role
You'll maintain and improve the infrastructure that supports the entire production operation.
Your responsibilities will include:
Maintenance of steam boilers and associated systems
Industrial refrigeration and cooling systems
Water systems and effluent treatment
Mechanical drives, hydraulics and pneumatics
Pipefitting and general mechanical maintenance
Planned preventative maintenance
Electrical site services
Emergency lighting and portable appliance testing
General site fabric repairs and improvements
Supporting new equipment installation and commissioning
Fault finding and breakdown response
You'll work closely with production and engineering teams to improve reliability, support production start-up and reduce downtime.
You'll also have the opportunity to contribute to continuous improvement, lean initiatives and environmental performance across the site.
What We're Looking For
You'll ideally have:
NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Engineering
Mechanical or electrical engineering background
Apprentice-trained experience preferred
Experience in site services, utilities, facilities or industrial maintenance
Knowledge of boilers, refrigeration, water or effluent systems
Good understanding of mechanical systems, hydraulics and pneumatics
Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills
Ability to work independently and prioritise effectively
Experience within a manufacturing or industrial environment
You don't need experience with every system listed above. A strong core engineering background and the ability to learn new systems are what matter most.
What's In It For You?
4 on / 4 off days and nights
Competitive salary and benefits
Permanent position with a major UK food manufacturer
Stable, long-term opportunity
Broad exposure to utilities and industrial engineering
Ongoing training and development
Opportunities to progress into senior engineering or utilities roles
Continued investment in engineering, infrastructure and site capability
The Business
You'll be joining a major UK food manufacturer operating as part of a wider European group, supplying branded and own-label products to major retail and foodservice customers.
The site operates at significant scale and continues to invest in engineering capability, infrastructure and production efficiency.
This is an opportunity to become a key part of the engineering function and work on systems that genuinely keep the factory running.
