Engineering Shift Team Leader

Location: Thetford

About Us

Join 2 Sisters Food Group, one of the UK's largest food manufacturers, with an annual turnover exceeding £3 billion and approximately 13,000 employees across 16 sites. We have a strong presence in poultry, chilled, and bakery food categories. We are committed to delivering high-quality products to the British public and our retail and food service customers, including major retailers like Aldi, Asda, Co-op, KFC, Lidl, Marks & Spencer, Morrison's, Sainsbury's, Tesco, and Waitrose.

About the Role

Our Thetford operation is a breaded/coated product centre of excellence. As a value added, non-kill site we have no live animals or butchery onsite. It uses best in class equipment, which enables the site to deliver significant environmental benefits. The low-energy building is the flagship development within the 2 Sisters Food Group.

As the senior engineering presence on shift, you'll take the lead on day-to-day engineering activities, ensuring breakdowns, issues, and risks are reported, escalated, and resolved effectively. You'll be comfortable making decisions, thinking on your feet, and setting the standard for engineering best practice and discipline on shift.

What you'll be doing:

  • Act as the lead engineer on shift, setting standards and direction.
  • Carry out hands-on mechanical and electrical fault finding and repairs.
  • Ensure breakdowns, issues, and risks are reported, escalated, and resolved effectively.
  • Support and guide engineers on shift, providing direction when needed.
  • Maintain engineering discipline, safety, and best practice.
  • Communicate clearly with operations and senior stakeholders.

What We're Looking For

  • Time-served, multi-skilled engineer with strong Mechanical & Electrical capability.
  • Strong experience in a manufacturing environment (food preferred).
  • Previous supervisory or acting team leader experience or a Senior Engineer looking to progress into leadership.
  • Comfortable taking ownership and leading by example.
  • Confident decision-maker with a calm, practical approach.

Benefits

  • Company pension scheme with Legal & General or NEST pension
  • Death in service benefit (optional, linked to pension membership)
  • Company sick pay (after qualifying period)
  • Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme and Grocery Aid (confidential support 365 days a year)
  • Boparan Restaurant Group Discount - 50% discount for friends and family

Why Join Us?

As one of the UK's largest food manufacturers, we provide ample opportunities for career growth and skill development. We emphasise promoting from within, ensuring you can build a rewarding career with us.
