Do you enjoy varied maintenance work and want to join a large, well-established manufacturer offering long-term stability, ongoing investment and a healthy work-life balance?

We are currently working with a leading UK food manufacturer to recruit a Site Services Mechanical Engineer to join their engineering team in Poole.

5. Complete maintenance records and permit-to-work documentation through the CMMS system.
6. Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and support site upgrade projects.
7. Work alongside electrical and mechanical contractors to ensure all work is completed safely and efficiently.

Requirements

1. Engineering qualification such as NVQ, City & Guilds or equivalent.
2. Previous experience within manufacturing, facilities, utilities or building services environments.
3. Strong mechanical fault-finding and maintenance skills.
4. Experience working with steam systems, pumps, valves, heat exchangers or pipework would be highly advantageous.

6. Welding or fabrication experience would be advantageous.

And this is what you'll get in return:

  • Up to £48,000 starting salary
