Multi-skilled Reliability Engineer
Location: Cambridgeshire (on-site)
Salary: £50,000
Hours: Monday to Friday, days, 40 hours per week
Contract: Permanent
About the role
Our client, a busy food manufacturer in Cambridgeshire, is looking for a Multi-skilled Reliability Engineer. The role covers both maintenance and projects. It would suit a multi-skilled maintenance engineer ready to move into reliability and improvement work, or a CI engineer who still enjoys hands‑on engineering.
What a normal week looks like
- Leading root cause analysis and continuous improvement on existing machines
- Spotting quick wins and getting them done, without waiting for a big project to justify it
- Representing engineering on projects for new equipment, product launches and SKU changes
- Being on the floor for customer trials, launches and customer visits
- Linking the engineering team with production, technical and project teams
- Covering for maintenance engineers on the shop floor when needed
The honest part
This is a busy FMCG site, and priorities can change quickly. Some days you'll be balancing a breakdown, a launch and a customer visit at the same time. As a Reliability and Improvement Engineer, you'll need to stay calm, decide what matters most and keep people updated.
What you'll need
- A multi-skilled engineering background (mechanical and electrical), for example as a Multi-skilled Maintenance Engineer
- A relevant engineering qualification
- Recent experience in food, FMCG or pharma manufacturing
- A proactive, team-first approach and clear communication with people at all levels
Nice to have
- Experience as a CI Engineer, Improvement Engineer, Reliability Engineer, Projects Engineer or in an engineering leadership role
