Location: Shepton Mallet

Have you recently completed your apprenticeship or are you a time-served Maintenance Engineer looking to join a well-established manufacturer? Do you enjoy fault finding on production machinery and being part of a team that keeps a busy site running?

Yolk Recruitment are working with a long-standing and respected site in Somerset who are looking to strengthen their engineering team with the addition of an Shift Engineer. The site has a strong reputation locally and continues to invest in both its people and equipment.

This is a great opportunity to join a stable manufacturing business where engineers play a key role in maintaining production reliability and driving improvements across the site.

This is what you'll be doing

As a Shift Engineer you will be responsible for keeping production equipment running efficiently, supporting both planned and reactive maintenance across the factory. Working closely with production teams, you will help minimise downtime while maintaining high standards of safety and quality.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Carrying out planned preventative maintenance across production machinery and site services
  • Responding to breakdowns quickly and carrying out effective fault finding to minimise disruption to production
  • Diagnosing and repairing electrical faults including work on 3-phase systems, motors, control panels, relays, contactors and inverters/VSDs
  • Supporting basic PLC fault finding and working with automated production equipment
  • Completing mechanical maintenance tasks including bearings, chains, belts, gearboxes, pumps and seals
  • Recording maintenance work accurately through the site maintenance system
  • Working collaboratively with production teams to prioritise and resolve engineering issues
  • Maintaining high standards of health and safety and following site procedures at all times
  • Supporting improvement projects and contributing ideas to increase plant reliability and performance

What we're looking for

  • A recognised engineering qualification (NVQ, City & Guilds, HNC or equivalent)
  • Experience working as a Maintenance Engineer or Shift Engineer in a manufacturing environment
  • Experience working on production machinery and automated equipment
  • Good working knowledge of both electrical and mechanical maintenance
  • A proactive approach and ability to work effectively within a shift engineering team

And this is what you'll get in return

  • Salary of up to £52k
  • Opportunities for overtime at enhanced rates
  • Enhanced annual leave allowance
  • Company pension scheme
  • Life insurance
  • Employee referral programme
  • Long service reward scheme
  • Charity volunteering days
  • Health & wellbeing programme, including virtual GP appointments
  • Employee discounts with major retailers
  • Free drinks vending and heavily subsidised food vending
  • Free onsite parking

You'll be joining a well-established manufacturer with a strong track record in the sector and a stable engineering team, offering long-term security and the chance to work in a busy production environment.

Are you up to the challenge?
