Description

Our client is a highly automated poultry business dedicated to excellent bird welfare, biosecurity, and operational efficiency. Combining modern technology with a passion for quality, we are seeking a proactive Maintenance & Poultry Operations Engineer to join our team.

Role Overview

This hands-on role is crucial to the smooth running of our poultry units and packing areas. You will undertake both planned and reactive maintenance, ensure equipment reliability, support bird welfare, and occasionally assist with stockperson duties.

Key Responsibilities

You will be responsible for maintaining and repairing poultry and packing equipment, including egg belts, printers, packers, and associated machinery. Monitoring equipment for unusual sounds or performance issues, conducting fail-safe checks, and carrying out minor building and structural repairs are also essential parts of the role.

In addition, you will ensure bird welfare by responding to system alarms, maintaining lighting, ventilation, temperature, feed, and water systems, and ensuring safe housing conditions. You will also manage manure removal efficiently and safely, maintain biosecurity and hygiene standards, and keep accurate records of maintenance, observations, and incidents.

The role also involves general repairs to facilities, promoting environmental sustainability, supporting team targets, and contributing to a positive, collaborative workplace culture.

Skills & Experience Required

The ideal candidate will have previous maintenance or repair experience, with relevant qualifications advantageous. You should be able to work under pressure, use your initiative, and have strong numeracy, literacy, and organisational skills. A hands-on approach, proactive attitude, and the ability to follow biosecurity and hygiene procedures are essential.

Training & Development

You will complete a comprehensive six-week induction covering safety, biosecurity, record keeping, and equipment competence, with ongoing opportunities to develop skills in maintenance, welfare, and farm operations.

What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, a hands-on role in a modern, highly automated poultry environment, professional development opportunities, and a supportive team culture with varied responsibilities
