Are you an experienced Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer ready to step into management, or an established Engineering Supervisor looking for a new challenge?

We're recruiting for a fantastic opportunity with an established food manufacturing business in Hull, offering a competitive salary, excellent working hours and genuine responsibility.

You'll oversee a small engineering team of two Engineers, reporting directly to the Factory Manager, while remaining fully hands-on with mechanical and electrical maintenance.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys practical engineering but is ready to take greater ownership of a manufacturing operation.

• Coordinate planned preventative maintenance (PPM) activities.
• Drive improvements in machinery reliability and production efficiency.
• Work closely with production teams and report directly to the Factory Manager.
• Maintain high standards of health, safety and engineering compliance.
• Take ownership of engineering activities across a single-line production facility.

What We're Looking For

• Strong 50/50 mechanical and electrical engineering experience.
• Background in manufacturing, ideally food production or FMCG.
• Confident with fault-finding, breakdowns and preventative maintenance.
• A practical, hands-on approach with strong problem-solving skills.
• Previous supervisory experience OR a senior Multi-Skilled Engineer ready to step up.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to lead a small team.

What's On Offer?

• Circa £50,000 salary - negotiable depending on experience.
• Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm - no rotating shifts.
• 33 days' holiday, with a two-week Christmas shutdown.
• Additional payment arrangements for call-outs and overtime, including a £150 supervisory/management payment (terms to be confirmed).
• Permanent position within an established food manufacturing business.
• Opportunity to progress into engineering leadership.
• A hands-on role with genuine responsibility and autonomy.
