ABOUT THE JOB.

With automation on the rise it\'s important we remain ahead in our manufacturing operations. Our Manufacturing Technicians are at the sharp end of this, overseeing the plant assets.

This role is a hybrid role between Engineering and Operations. You work with both teams to ensure efficient running of the assets, ensuring optimum plant efficiency to deliver the quality and quantity to make us one of the UK\'s favourite food products.

We are go-getters with big plans. And whilst we expect machines will break down once in a while, we believe prevention is better than the cure. We want you at the forefront of our plants, knowing how our machines are running and help us come up with new and improved ways of doing it faster and better, which is why continuous improvement and reliability will pay a huge part in your role.

If you\'re looking to catapult your career, then this is a great opportunity which many of our senior leaders including our Manufacturing Director having worked themselves up from a similar role. You could say \'the fries the limit\' here at McCain.
