Closing Date: 24 July 2026

GMP Manufacturing Ltd is a growing organisation based in Hull, holding a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Licence (MIA), ISO Medical Devices (13485) and Cosmetic Certification (22716). We supply a diverse portfolio of medicinal, medical devices and cosmetic products to multiple markets, underpinned by strong regulatory compliance and quality standards.

As part of our continued growth, we are seeking a highly capable Multi‑Skilled Engineer to join our Engineering team. This is a hands‑on role responsible for the installation, maintenance, fault‑finding, and repair of production and facility equipment, with a particular bias towards electrical engineering. You will play a key role in maximising equipment uptime, supporting new equipment installations, and ensuring plant and machinery operate safely and reliably in a regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing environment.

We are looking for a proactive, safety‑conscious engineer with strong electrical fault‑finding ability, a solid grounding in mechanical engineering, and a practical, can‑do approach to problem‑solving on the shop floor.

Job Summary

The Multi‑Skilled Engineer will provide day‑to‑day electrical and mechanical engineering support across manufacturing, packing, and facilities equipment, carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM), reactive breakdown repairs, and equipment improvements. The role requires strong electrical fault‑finding skills (control panels, PLCs, motors, drives, instrumentation), working mechanical knowledge (pumps, seals, bearings, pneumatics), and the ability to work safely and compliantly within a GMP‑regulated environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out electrical fault‑finding, diagnostics, and repairs on production and packing line equipment, control panels, motors, drives, and instrumentation.
• Perform planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive breakdown maintenance across mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems.
• Support installation, commissioning, and validation of new plant, machinery, and equipment.
• Interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and P&IDs to diagnose and resolve faults efficiently.
• Carry out basic PLC fault diagnosis and liaise with controls engineers/OEMs on more complex issues.
• Undertake mechanical tasks including pump, seal, bearing, and gearbox maintenance and repair.
• Ensure all work is carried out safely, in line with GMP, health & safety, and site permit‑to‑work requirements.
• Complete accurate maintenance records, work orders, and technical documentation, including as part of the system.
• Support root cause analysis investigations for equipment‑related deviations and drive corrective actions.
• Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities to enhance equipment reliability and reduce downtime.
• Collaborate with Production, Technical, and Quality teams to minimise disruption to manufacturing schedules.
• Participate in an on‑call/callout rota to support business continuity (where applicable).

Desirable

• Recognised electrical engineering qualification.
• Proven multi‑skilled maintenance experience with a bias towards electrical engineering, ideally within pharmaceutical, medical device, cosmetic, food, or FMCG manufacturing.
• Working knowledge of PLCs and industrial control systems.
• Solid understanding of mechanical maintenance principles.
• Experience working in a GMP‑regulated or other highly regulated manufacturing environment.
• Understanding of health & safety requirements including permit‑to‑work.

Why GMPM

• Opportunity to play a key role in a growing and dynamic organisation.
• Varied, hands‑on role across a broad range of engineering equipment and technologies.
• Collaborative, cross‑functional working environment.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
