Engineering Supervisor
Location: Hull

The Opportunity
We are recruiting for an experienced Engineering Supervisor to join a food manufacturing business based in Hull on a permanent basis.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced engineering professional with a strong background in food manufacturing and a good understanding of BRC compliance.
Ideally, we are looking for an engineer with a balanced 50/50 electrical and mechanical skill set. However, candidates with a stronger mechanical bias will also be considered, provided they have sound electrical fault-finding capabilities and the experience needed to support a busy production environment.
You will be responsible for overseeing the engineering function for one production line, leading a small team and ensuring equipment reliability, minimising downtime and maintaining high standards of food safety and compliance.
Key Responsibilities
- Supervise and support a small engineering team, ensuring effective day-to-day performance.
- Take ownership of the engineering requirements for one production line.
- Carry out and oversee electrical and mechanical fault-finding, repairs and maintenance.
- Drive planned and preventative maintenance to reduce unplanned downtime.
- Respond to breakdowns and work closely with production to maintain output and efficiency.
- Ensure engineering activities meet food safety, BRC compliance, health and safety and site standards.
- Maintain accurate engineering records and documentation.
- Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and improved equipment reliability.
About You
- Previous experience in an engineering supervisory or team leader role within food manufacturing is essential.
- A strong mechanical engineering background, ideally complemented by good electrical skills.
- Candidates with a balanced 50/50 electrical/mechanical skill set are preferred, although a more mechanically biased engineer will also be considered.
- Good knowledge of BRC standards and compliance within a food production environment.
- Experience maintaining and fault-finding on production machinery.
- Experience supporting or managing a small engineering team.
- A hands‑on, proactive approach with strong problem-solving skills.
- Flexibility to support the business when production demands require it.
Working Hours
- Monday to Friday, 8:00am–4:00pm.
- Flexibility required for earlier starts and later finishes when needed.
- Occasional weekend work may be required, generally around two weekends per month if necessary, paid at an overtime rate.
What's on Offer?
- £50,000 per annum
- Permanent, direct employment.
- Monday to Friday standard working hours.
- Additional overtime opportunities for weekend work.
- Responsibility for a dedicated production line and a small engineering team.
If you have the relevant food manufacturing engineering experience and BRC knowledge, and are looking for your next supervisory opportunity, we'd like to hear from you.
