Salary: Negotiable DOE
The Role
We are looking for a proactive Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to support, maintain, and continually improve our bakery production equipment. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys understanding how machinery and processes work, identifying why failures occur, and implementing preventative solutions that improve reliability, efficiency, and performance.
You will play a key role in ensuring our production facilities run safely and efficiently, supporting the manufacture of our handcrafted, high-quality baked goods.
Key Responsibilities
* Carry out planned, preventative, and reactive maintenance on bakery production machinery.
* Study existing machinery, systems, and processes to identify opportunities for improved efficiency and reliability.
* Diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical faults (including motors, bearings, mixers, provers, conveyors, and control panels).
* Interpret electrical schematics, pneumatic drawings, and technical manuals to support accurate fault-finding.
* Lead and support preventative maintenance activities aimed at reducing downtime and extending equipment life.
* Conduct root cause analysis on recurring faults and implement long-term corrective actions.
* Support and deliver minor improvement and modification projects to enhance safety and performance.
* Record maintenance activity accurately using a CMMS (or equivalent system) and support spare parts management.
* Work closely with production teams to plan maintenance activities and minimise disruption.
* Ensure all work complies with health & safety, food safety, and regulatory standards.
About You
* Minimum 2+ years' experience in a maintenance engineering role within food manufacturing or FMCG.
* Multi-skilled with strong mechanical and electrical fault-finding capabilities.
* Confident reading and interpreting electrical schematics and pneumatic diagrams.
* Proven experience with preventative maintenance and continuous improvement activities.
* Analytical and methodical, with a strong focus on long-term solutions rather than short-term fixes.
* Knowledge of OEE, HACCP, and safe systems of work.
* Organised, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment.
Why Join Kelly's Bakery?
* Opportunity to make a real impact on machinery reliability and efficiency.
* Strong focus on preventative maintenance and improvement, not just reactive breakdowns.
* Supportive team environment producing high-quality, handcrafted products.
