- £40,000 Site-based This role sits inside an engineering-led business focused on horticulture and vertical farming systems, where controlled environments, automation and reliability are critical to production performance.

The purpose of the role is simple: take ownership of the day-to-day engineering coordination and administration so the engineering team can focus on maintaining and improving systems rather than chasing information.

You'll need enough engineering awareness to understand how maintenance activity flows through a live operational environment, and the judgement to know what needs attention, what needs escalation, and what cannot be left to drift.

What you'll be doing Managing day-to-day engineering administration and live job tracking Coordinating engineering workload and supporting maintenance planning activity Maintaining accurate engineering stores and stock control processes Keeping CMMS/live systems updated with accurate, usable information Supporting scheduling and organisation of engineering activity Acting as a central point for engineering communication and coordination Ensuring data, records and job information are complete and reliable Supporting the engineering team with structured operational organisation What we're looking for Engineering background in horticulture, agriculture, food production or similar environment Understanding of maintenance processes within a live operational setting Comfortable working with CMMS, planning tools and engineering data systems Strong organisational skills with genuine ownership of workload Ability to prioritise and manage multiple moving parts Practical engineering mindset rather than purely administrative approach Confident working closely with engineers, technicians and operations teams The reality of the role This is not a passive coordination role.

In a controlled growing environment, reliability, timing and system accuracy directly impact production outcomes.

If information is wrong or late, the engineering response is wrong or late as well. xwzovoh

The role suits someone who understands how engineering supports a living system, and who naturally brings structure, clarity and control to fast-moving operational environments.
