Are you looking for your first break into the world of Food? If so read on…

We are currently recruiting for the UK’s largest and fasted growing food manufacturing businesses, who are looking for over 20 Engineers to join their brand new fully automated manufacturing site in Leicester.

Thanks to their tried and tested induction and training process, they are in a unique position to employ Engineers from outside of the usual channels of  Manufacturing. So far, just in the last year, they have hired nearly 20 Engineers none of which had a background in Automation.

Equipment includes fully automated equipment, conveyors, mixers, ovens, slicers and palletisers. The vast majority of the breakdowns would be electrical in nature, with most of the mechanical faults being linked to damaged bearings and belts, which can be changed like for like.

How to Apply

All candidates will need to complete a technical screening interview, with the final stage being an onsite interview and site tour.

Am I Right?

To be successful in your application you must have the following skills, abilities or qualifications:

  • Must have previous experience fixing some form of Electrical or Mechanical system.
