Manufacturing Technicians

If you are applying to our Manufacturing Technicians role, you will already be a qualified Engineer doing a similar job. As well as being a qualified Engineer, you will also need to be someone who collaborates and inspires our teams to always strive for a smooth operation.

Qualifications:

• NVQ 3 / BTEC 3 in related Engineering discipline - mandatory of one or the other
• Time served apprenticeship - desirable
• HNC or equivalent - desirable
• Knowledge of SCADA or similar systems and some PLC knowledge
• Experience in fault finding
• Ability to steer continuous improvement activity in a similar role
• The ability to work under pressure and at speed
• Strong organisation and prioritisation skills
• IOSH/NEBOSH certificate - desirable

Responsibilities:

With automation on the rise, it is important we remain ahead in our manufacturing operations. Our Manufacturing Technicians oversee the plant assets, making quick-thinking choices to ensure our plant is always running with limited (or no) breakdowns. This role is a hybrid role between Engineering and Operations, working with both teams to ensure efficient running of the assets, ensuring optimum plant efficiency to deliver quality and quantity.

We expect machines will break down once in a while, but we believe prevention is better than the cure. We want you at the forefront of our plants, knowing how our machines are running and helping us come up with new and improved ways of doing it faster and better, which is why continuous improvement and reliability will play a huge part in your role.

If you are looking to catapult your career, then this is a great opportunity. Many of our senior leaders, including our Manufacturing Director, have worked themselves up from a similar role.

Benefits:

• An excellent pension where we will pay double what you do, up to a maximum of 12% of your pay
• Flexible holidays - where you can buy & sell up to 5 days holiday per year
• Optional health cash plan
• Cycle to work scheme
• 'Chips In' Volunteering Day Off - to make a positive impact to the competitiveness, resilience, and long-term development of McCain communities across the globe

Shift Pattern:

We have a few different shifts available including continental, days, and nights. When you apply, you will be asked to pick your preference. One of our team will then be in touch to discuss in more detail.
