Wolverhampton, West Midlands | £54,000 Rotating Days & Nights / £60,000 Nights | Continental Shifts

We are working with a fast-growing, own-brand tissue-converting manufacturer operating within the FMCG sector, producing toilet tissue, kitchen towel and facial tissue for some of the UK’s biggest retailers.

The site runs a 24/7, high-speed converting and packaging environment with a strong focus on reliability, quality and continued investment, and the business is now building a second site nearby to add further capacity.

This is a great opportunity for a Maintenance Engineer who is looking for a stable, expanding employer with a large engineering team around them.

These are new roles created by growth, not replacements. Working on a continental days and nights pattern, you will look after the packaging lines that sit downstream of the converting lines, carrying out planned and reactive maintenance on wrapping, bundling, case packing, palletising and conveyor equipment.

• Carry out electrical fault-finding as required.
• Work with production teams to improve line performance and reduce repeat faults.
• Support the installation and commissioning of new equipment.
• Maintain accurate maintenance records.
• Work as part of a large engineering team across a 24/7 operation.

Skills & Qualifications:

• Recognised mechanical or electrical engineering qualification.
• Proven maintenance experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• FMCG, packaging, corrugated, textiles or batch-process backgrounds well suited.
• Strong mechanical fault-finding skills.
• Basic electrical competence.

• Full plant and packaging equipment training.
• Overtime available.
