Multiskilled Maintenance Technician

Caerphilly

£40,000 starting salary, rising to £45,000 with progression



Yolk Recruitment is proud to represent an exciting opportunity to join a thriving FMCG manufacturer in Caerphilly. With over 15 years of sustained growth and a reputation for supplying some of the UK's most recognisable food outlets, this business offers a dynamic and rewarding environment for skilled technicians.



What You'll Do:



You'll be supporting high-speed, state-of-the-art machinery across two key production areas. From large-scale printing lines to automated packaging systems, your role will focus on preventative maintenance and performance optimisation.



You'll be expected to investigate and resolve recurring quality issues, using a methodical approach to identify root causes and implement long-term fixes.



This is a proactive role, not centred around reactive breakdown response. You'll work a rotating 3-shift pattern (mornings, afternoons and nights), Monday to Friday.



What You'll Bring:



A time-served engineering background with at least 3 years' experience in a fast-paced manufacturing setting



Experience with high-speed machinery in FMCG, packaging or food production



Strong fault-finding skills with a focus on identifying and resolving quality-related issues



A collaborative mindset and ability to lead by example when needed



Confidence to operate independently and make decisions on the job



A genuine interest in continuous improvement and learning

Why You Should Apply:



This is a rare opportunity to join a business that invests heavily in its people. You'll receive a structured onboarding

programme including time on the shop floor, shadowing senior engineers and hands-on training during shutdowns. Progression is clearly mapped, with salary increases at 9-12 months and again at 2 years once you've demonstrated initiative and completed a project.
