I’m working with a well-established, high-performing manufacturing site in Corby who are looking to appoint an experienced Engineering Manager to take full ownership of site maintenance, reliability and engineering performance.

This is a senior leadership role with real autonomy, responsible for the condition of all assets, driving safety, maximising uptime, and leading a multi-skilled maintenance team in a fast-paced production environment.

The role:

• Lead and develop the site maintenance team, setting clear standards and expectations
• Own preventative maintenance, reliability and continuous improvement strategy
• Drive root cause analysis and long-term fixes, not firefighting

• Proven Engineering / Maintenance Manager experience in manufacturing (food, FMCG, chemical or similar)
• Strong electrical & mechanical background (apprentice-trained or degree qualified)

• Solid knowledge of CMMS, asset management and reliability best practice
• Health & Safety focused, results-driven and hands-on when needed

Why apply?

• £70k salary
• Stable, well-invested site with clear expectations
• Genuine scope to shape engineering strategy and make an impact
• Supportive culture with long-term career development opportunities

If you’re an Engineering Manager or Senior Maintenance Leader ready for a site-level role with accountability and influence, get in touch for a confidential discussion.
