Senior Asset Care Engineer (Assembly Processes) in Bridgwater

In this role, you’ll take ownership of commissioning activities, project delivery and ongoing continuous improvement across the Cutting & Stacking area within the Assembly Zone. You’ll help shape how new equipment, processes and utilities are introduced into the operation—ensuring they’re safe, compliant and ready for long‑term performance.

Day‑to‑day, you’ll review and evaluate design proposals, tender packages and technical solutions during early project phases. You’ll provide engineering input to ensure equipment is operable, maintainable and meets all relevant standards. As the project moves into installation and commissioning, your focus will shift to hands‑on oversight: attending design reviews and FATs, working with OEMs, managing deviations and ensuring installations meet requirements.

You’ll drive improvements in equipment reliability by defining commissioning standards, developing utility connection and isolation requirements, supporting training for production and maintenance teams, and establishing the right tools, spares and maintenance processes to achieve availability targets above 90%. Once production ramps up, you’ll continue supporting operational equipment performance through ongoing optimisation and corrective actions.

You’ll be part of the Maintenance Engineering function within UK Operations, working closely with global manufacturing engineering, automation specialists, project teams and equipment vendors. It’s a high‑growth, start‑up phase environment where collaboration, problem solving and technical rigour are essential. You’ll interface with colleagues at all levels—from shopfloor operators to engineering leadership—contributing to one of the most critical production areas in the Assembly Zone.

You’ll have strong electro‑mechanical engineering experience, ideally with at least five years working in automated or industrial manufacturing environments. You’ll bring hands‑on knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems, PLC/SCADA, robotics, conveying and process control—along with the ability to assess operability, maintainability and compliance of complex equipment.

You’ll be confident contributing to commissioning standards, safety compliance (PUWER, UKCA/CE, machinery directives), technical documentation, and training programmes. Experience in regulated, fast‑paced sectors such as battery manufacturing, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, chemicals or food & drink is highly valuable. You’ll also bring strong communication skills, the ability to collaborate with OEMs and vendors, and the mindset to continuously improve equipment performance long after start‑up. Relevant qualifications such as NVQ/BTEC Level 3, HNC or an equivalent apprenticeship are expected.
