Engineering Manager / Scrum Manager, Home Based

We are working with a long-established, quality-led food and drink manufacturer to appoint an Engineering Manager for a key production site in Yorkshire. This is a site engineering leadership role and a key member of the Senior Leadership Team. You would be responsible for ensuring the reliability of plant and equipment while leading a safe, compliant and efficient engineering function. The business has a strong heritage, a loyal workforce and a culture that is proud, practical and non-corporate. You will lead the site engineering function, taking responsibility for asset reliability, planned maintenance, statutory compliance, contractor control, engineering performance and continuous improvement. Improving plant and equipment reliability through robust planned maintenance, condition monitoring and root cause analysis. Developing engineering KPIs around OEE, MTBF, MTTR, planned vs reactive maintenance and engineering cost. Leading, coaching and developing a small engineering team. Ensuring safe systems of work, including Permit to Work, contractor control and LOTO. Maintaining engineering compliance across PUWER, DSEAR and relevant statutory requirements. Supporting audit readiness and food/drink manufacturing standards. Leading engineering input into capital projects, including significant site investment and automation work. Food, drink, or wider FMCG experience would be ideal, but broader manufacturing experience will be considered if you understand fast-moving production, quality-led processes and the need to keep equipment running safely and consistently. Proven engineering leadership experience in a production or manufacturing environment. Strong maintenance, reliability and asset-care capability. Good knowledge of engineering compliance, including PUWER, DSEAR, PTW and LOTO. Credibility with hands-on engineers, operators, senior leaders and external contractors. Experience delivering or supporting capital projects. This will suit someone who wants influence, ownership and visibility in a business where engineering is becoming more central to operational performance.
