Job Description - Maintenance Engineer


Welcome to Hovis. We are the proud guardians of over 130 years of baking experience that make up our iconic and much-loved brand. We produce bread and bakery products created with Hovis goodness at the heart of each. We deliver around 1.3million loaves, every day of the week throughout the UK and Ireland, where we also make Mothers Pride and Ormo products. 


 


We are 2,800 people working within 8 bakeries, 1 flour mill, and 2 regional distribution centres across the UK. Our success is a result of the hard work of our people;  they are experts in their field whether it’s baking, manufacturing, logistics, engineering, or the many departments within the central functions team based in our head office in High Wycombe. We are a values-led business and expect our colleagues to live, breathe, and embed Quality, Accountability, and Trust into their ways of working.


 




Location: Bradford


Shift: 4 on 4 off days and nights 




 




We’re looking for a mechanically biased, multi-skilled Maintenance Engineer to keep our high-speed production lines running safely and efficiently. 




 




You’ll spend the majority of your time on mechanical fault finding, repairs and preventative maintenance, with enough electrical knowledge to work safely, diagnose faults and support line recovery. 




 




This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, ideal for an engineer who enjoys fixing problems properly and minimising downtime.

What we're looking for




 






  • NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering 
    (Multi-skilled or Electrical qualification (if mechanically biased) an advantage) 








  • Manufacturing or FMCG maintenance experience 








  • Confident with mechanical systems: gearboxes, bearings, chains, conveyors, pneumatics, hydraulics 








  • Electrical safety awareness and fault-finding capability 








  • Practical, proactive engineer with a strong work ethic
