WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

We’re commissioning a multi-million-pound investment in high-speed packaging and palletising technology at our Bury St Edmunds site. This isn’t just a maintenance role—it’s a strategic leadership position at the core of our automation and reliability journey.
You’ll lead the entire electrical and control infrastructure, working alongside capital project teams to deliver step-change improvements and enable our Industry 4.0 ambitions.

WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

• Lead and line-manage a team of dedicated Electrical & Control Engineers and technicians.
• Influence and support multi-skilled technicians across the site, driving high standards.
• Own electrical safety, compliance, and performance improvement programmes.
• Develop and deliver long-term reliability, risk, and asset integrity strategies across a £250m estate.
• Manage all electrical and control changes—from small-scale modifications to capital projects.
• Champion cybersecurity in control systems and enable digital resilience.
• Drive defect elimination, reduce downtime, and optimise throughput.
• Lead cross-site expert forums, sharing best practice and standardising approaches.
• Coach and develop engineers, technicians, and production teams to build site-wide competence.
• Support strategic decision-making and deputise for the Engineering Support Manager as needed.
