Whilst working as part of a highly skilled and well-established engineering team, I am driven and skilled in finding and rectifying faults through inputs and outputs, reading and acting on data, conducting planned and preventative maintenance and working on a variety of equipment from bulk handling systems, through processing and packaging, site services and PLC control systems. As a Multi-Skilled Engineer I work in shift teams in close conjunction with production, safety and hygiene. The team undertake planned and preventative maintenance and are encouraged to use their engineering skills and experience to develop robust solutions and long-term fixes. There's a huge variety of tasks that will range from general plant maintenance to improving plant reliability and diagnosing problems before they develop. The environment is a fast-paced, highly automated 24/7 food manufacturing environment each day brings a different opportunity.
As part of the Engineering team, I am encouraged and supported to foster new ideas and perspectives whilst driving change at pace.
As part of my role, I identify and complete continuous improvement projects to increase plant efficiency, reduce downtime and save energy and associated costs.
