Newport

Are you a hands‑on engineer with a passion for continuous improvement? We’re looking for a Maintenance Engineer to join a leading food manufacturing business based in Newport. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a dedicated engineering team driving reliability and efficiency across production operations.

The Role

You’ll work as part of the site’s Engineering Team on a 4 on / 4 off shift pattern (days and nights), supporting the delivery of planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive repairs.

This role plays a key part in developing and implementing a new Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) approach — helping to reduce downtime, improve performance, and ensure the smooth running of all production equipment.

What will you be doing?

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance and reactive repairs on a wide range of equipment.
• Diagnose faults, test, and maintain mechanical and electrical systems.
• Lead shift‑based problem solving where corrective actions aren’t clear.
• Use the CMMS system to log work, analyse historical data, and identify improvement opportunities.
• Support continuous improvement through TPM, root cause analysis, and 5S initiatives.
• Ensure all work complies with health, safety, hygiene, and quality standards.
• Collaborate with other departments to maintain strong communication and a positive team culture.

What will you bring to the party?

• Time‑served Maintenance Engineer or equivalent engineering qualification (e.g. NVQ, HNC).
• Previous experience in a manufacturing or FMCG environment.
• Knowledge of CMMS systems and fault‑finding on both mechanical and electrical equipment.
• Proactive, safety‑conscious, and passionate about reliability and improvement.
• Flexible and willing to support occasional overtime when required.
