Location: On-site: Greater Manchester Area

Shift: Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00

IMPACT EVOLVE is supporting a fast-growing FMCG brand in their search to appoint an Interim Multi-Skilled Engineer who will take ownership of all aspects of site engineering and maintenance.

This is a hands-on role at the heart of the operation, ensuring lines run smoothly, downtime is minimised, and opportunities for improvement are acted on quickly..


Key Responsibilities

Planned & Reactive Maintenance

  • Diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical faults quickly and effectively.

  • Carry out engineering tasks including stripping motors, bearings, shafts, conveyors, adjusting belt tensions, and maintaining labelling and foil feed machines.

  • Diagnose inverter issues, access PLCs, and fault find within electrical cabinets.

  • Install electrical points such as 240v plug sockets and FLT charging points.


Operational Support & Continuous Improvement

  • Conduct line studies to identify “quick wins” and address immediate issues in production efficiency.

  • Proactively seek improvements rather than simply firefighting breakdowns.

  • Provide day-to-day maintenance support across all areas of the site, including general facility repairs (e.g., light fittings, door handles).

Collaboration & Reporting

  • Report directly to the Head of Operations, ensuring engineering activity aligns with production and operational priorities.

  • Work closely with production teams to maintain uptime, improve performance, and minimise disruption.


What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in a fast-paced FMCG manufacturing environment (food production desirable).

  • Multi-skilled with both mechanical and electrical capabilities.

  • Confident working on a wide range of engineering tasks, from precision repairs to facility maintenance.

  • Strong problem solving and fault finding ability, with a proactive mindset for improvement.

  • Comfortable in a hands-on, high energy, and entrepreneurial environment.


What’s in it for you?

This is a unique opportunity to join a business  at a pivotal stage in its growth journey. In return, you can expect:

  • A role with variety, responsibility, and direct impact on performance.

  • The chance to shape engineering practices and processes in a scaling FMCG business.
