Keep the technology moving. Keep production growing. An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Engineering & Maintenance Manager to take ownership of the engineering, maintenance and reliability of a state-of-the-art growing and production facility in Wiltshire. This is a hands-on management role for someone who enjoys variety, solving problems and making sure critical equipment performs when it matters most. With modern glasshouses, clean-room production areas, laboratories and sophisticated monitoring systems, the successful candidate will play a key role in keeping the entire operation running safely, efficiently and reliably. The Role Reporting to the General Manager, the Engineering & Maintenance Manager will lead the maintenance function across the site, supervising maintenance technicians while remaining actively involved in day-to-day engineering activity. The role will include responsibility for: * Leading and developing the maintenance team, overseeing repairs and daily engineering activities. * Planning and implementing preventative maintenance programmes to minimise equipment downtime. * Supporting critical infrastructure including industrial heating, electrical and cooling systems. * Working closely with Growing, Production, Quality Control, Quality Assurance and Security to minimise disruption to operations. * Managing equipment suppliers and contractors, ensuring parts are sourced efficiently and contracted work is completed to a high standard. * Supporting cultivation and processing teams with day-to-day engineering requirements. * Monitoring maintenance KPIs, including ticket completion and machine downtime. * Maintaining accurate engineering records and documentation. * Supporting audits, inspections and regulatory requirements. * Ensuring high standards of health & safety, biosecurity, hygiene and site security are maintained. The Person The successful candidate is likely to have 2–4 years’ engineering or maintenance experience, ideally gained within a glasshouse, production, manufacturing or similarly technical environment. They will bring: * Strong practical knowledge of machinery and equipment. * Previous experience supervising or leading a team. * Excellent organisational and communication skills. * A proactive, hands-on approach to fault finding and maintenance. * The ability to motivate, train and develop team members. * Strong attention to detail and accurate record keeping. * The ability to work within strict safety, hygiene and biosecurity procedures. * Competence with Microsoft Office and electronic record systems. * The physical capability to undertake hands-on maintenance when required. * Electrical qualifications would be highly desirable. Why This Role? This is far more than a traditional maintenance management position. The facility is purpose-built and incorporates modern equipment, technology and monitoring systems, meaning the Engineering & Maintenance Manager will have a genuine opportunity to influence site reliability, preventative maintenance and continuous improvement. For someone who enjoys being close to the operation, leading from the front and tackling engineering challenges in a fast-moving environment, it offers a varied role where no two days are likely to be the same. The successful candidate will also have a direct impact on operational performance, with success measured through reduced machine downtime, timely maintenance completion, strong safety performance and effective team development.
