Electrical Maintenance Engineer – Food Manufacturing – Coventry

Coventry, Warwickshire | £57,294.07 basic, circa £65,000 OTE with overtime and bonus | 4 on 4 off days and nights | Quarterly bonus and up to 15% employer pension

We’re partnering with a leading UK food manufacturer, home to one of the nation’s most recognisable snack brands, operating within a fast-moving, high-volume FMCG production environment.

The site is a technically advanced, highly automated facility in the midst of a multi-million-pound investment programme over the next three years, building on an already firm commitment to reliability, efficiency and continuous improvement.

The engineering team is mature and well organised, taking a proactive, planned approach to maintenance rather than a reactive one.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Maintenance Engineer with an electrical bias to join a progressive engineering team on a 4 on 4 off days and nights shift pattern, working across high-speed production and packaging lines.

The successful candidate will carry out planned and reactive maintenance, support root cause analysis and play a central role in improving plant reliability as the site’s investment programme continues to take shape.

This role would suit an apprentice-trained Maintenance Engineer looking to be part of a well-invested, structured FMCG environment during a period of growth, with excellent opportunities for training, development and career progression.

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance across high-speed production and packaging equipment.
• Respond to breakdowns promptly and effectively to keep downtime to a minimum.
• Diagnose and repair faults across both mechanical and electrical systems.
• Support root cause analysis to eliminate recurring failures.
• Work closely with production teams to keep machines running at peak performance.
• Contribute to continuous improvement and reliability projects across the site.
• Keep accurate maintenance records using CMMS systems.

Skills & Qualifications

• NVQ Level 3 / City & Guilds, with an electrical bias preferred.
• Apprentice-trained Maintenance Engineer.
• Experience within FMCG, food manufacturing or high-speed production environments.
• Proven fault-finding ability across electrical and mechanical systems.
• PLC fault-finding and SCADA experience would be an advantage.

Benefits

• Basic salary of £57,294.07, with most engineers earning circa £65,000 including overtime and bonus.
• 4 on 4 off shift pattern covering days and nights.
• Quarterly bonus scheme.
• Up to 15% employer pension contribution.
• Enhanced maternity, paternity and parental leave.
• Structured training and career development programme.
• Private healthcare and wellbeing support.
