Multi-Skilled Shift Engineer

Based – Stoke Bakery, Mr Kipling manufacturer, ST4 6PH

Shift Pattern - 4 x 4 (12hours) - 2 x days, 2 x 12 hr nights

Salary £50,960 per annum

Engineers thrive on the investigative journey of how things work, how they are made, and why they are successful. Robotic repetition in a box-ticking pigeon-hole role isn’t for you; instead, you’re driven by a passion for learning and the pride from progressive problem-solving.

This is a Multi-Skilled Engineer that empowers you to make a difference, rather than giving you a list of instructions. We want to harness and develop your desire to dig to the root cause, challenge the status quo, and evolve our process.

Premier Foods is a flagship industry player and own big-name brands such as Mr Kipling, Ambrosia and Batchelors. In joining us, you’ll be part of an established and progressive business that’s achieved steady financial growth during the past five years and continually invest into our manufacturing sites.

We recognise and embrace the important role Multi-Skilled Engineers play in understanding issues, not just fixing them. You are vital to the continuous improvement journey that prevents machine unreliability and, in turn, poor customer service and the loss of customers.

Interested in…?

• Proactive maintenance and inspection work AND proactive continuous improvement
• Exposure to a rich variety of engineering equipment and processes
• Automation experience; exposure to cutting-edge equipment and machinery
• A collaborative relationship between engineers and operators
• Career progression routes – into supervisor and management or cross-functionally
• Joining a multi-site business that places high emphasis on employee support

As a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer at our Stoke Bakery, you’ll be part of a team of six, reporting directly to a line manager on each shift.

You’ll be working a shift pattern of 2 days, 2 Nights, 4 off  (with some flexibility required, as there could be some overtime needed).

Premier Foods is an inclusive and progressive working environment. There aren’t battles and blame games when something goes wrong. We work together to benefit the team, the site, and the overall business.

If inconsistencies and inefficiencies irk you, this is your calling. This role is not about sticky-plaster fixing and short-term greasing; at Premier Foods, you’ll be using your engineering mindset and passion to enhance maintenance plans, investigate problems, and be part of a culture that improves equipment reliability.

Do You Offer…?

• A completed, multi-skilled apprenticeship OR at least five years of hands-on experience
• A relevant industry qualification, such as an NVQ, City & Guilds at level 3 or above

The benefits package for this role includes 18 days’ annual leave, a 7% contributory pension, an employee assistance program plus more!
