A great opportunity in a newly created role to act as a 'player manager', supervising a small team of engineers whilst taking a lead hands on role, particularly with regards to electrical fault finding. Working for a leading FMCG business, the business are on a journey to transform their engineering function from one that, as of a year ago, was very reactive with a lack of systems and processes. Fast forward a year and breakdowns have dramatically improved, the right systems are in place and the foundation is set to create a good Engineering department. This role will act as the no.2 to the Engineering Manager. There are a small team of multi skilled engineers, but there is an over reliance on the Engineering Manager for strong electrical skills, which means he is spending too much of his day on maintenance as opposed to CAPEX and more strategic work. This role will bridge that gap, managing a small team of engineers to become a high performing unit, whilst also acting a capable hands on engineer, for points of escalation and also more challenging fault finding. We are looking for someone with a track record in a fast paced environment (FMCG, food, drink, packaging, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automation, distribution etc), with a multi skilled background, but it is essential you are qualified and confident on the electrical side (NVQ Level 3 minimum, ONC/HNC/HND preferred). This role would suit either an existing team leader/supervisor or would also be a great first step for an engineer that is looking for their first managerial role or perhaps has been coaching/mentoring a team on a more informal basis. The role is a core days only role Mon-Fri with some flexibility needed on occasion. For more information, please get in touch for a confidential discussion.
