Engineering Planner

There is now an exciting opportunity for an Engineering Planner to join our Trafford Team. You will be responsible for the effective planning and scheduling of maintenance activities to ensure a smooth operation within a food manufacturing facility. This role involves co-ordinating with various departments to minimise downtime and maximise productivity whilst ensuring that safety compliance standards are met. In this role you will develop and maintain detailed maintenance schedules for all equipment and machinery, lead and manage maintenance projects including equipment upgrades and installations and support the operations team.

To be successful in your application, you must demonstrate that you can work both within a team and use your own initiative with a confident and collaborative approach combined with a strong, proactive work ethic and excellent communication skills. It would be desirable but not essential to have experience in maintenance planning, CMMS (Computerised Maintenance Management Systems), and the ability to generate reports on maintenance performance including key metrics such as MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), and knowledge of maintenance best practices with the ability to prioritise tasks to meet deadlines.

We are proud of our heritage and position as one of Europe's largest specialist food companies, manufacturing and supplying authentic global foods which serve the chefs and owners of restaurants and takeaways, as well as a diverse range of consumers. With a strong portfolio of leading brands including Lucky Boat, Elephant Atta, Rajah, Green Dragon and Patak's, our product range is as diverse as the people who chose to work here, and includes noodles, flour, rice, spices, sauces, and oils. We pride ourselves on our passion for food and people, where collaboration, diversity, and inclusion are integral in everything that we do. This is underpinned with our employee resource groups where members and allies help create an inclusive environment and special events are celebrated. Westmill is a place where no one feels like the new person for long and everyone has the chance to make a real difference to the business by being their authentic selves.
