Summary
Are you looking for a role where you can get hands‑on, keep a busy bakery running smoothly, and make a real impact every day? As an Engineer at our Dorset site, you’ll play a key part in keeping our production equipment operating safely, reliably, and at its best. You’ll use your technical know‑how to keep downtime low, support a smooth-running bakery, and help maintain the exceptional quality we’re known for.

- Take ownership of equipment readiness by completing permits, coordinating deep‑clean access, and ensuring every machine is safe, compliant, and ready to perform.
- Stay sharp on shift—spotting issues early, fixing faults quickly, and working with your engineering team to maintain seamless production cover.
- Partner with Hygiene, Production, and external specialists to keep equipment spotless, audit‑ready, and fully aligned with strict Food Safety and H&S standards.
- Play a key role in wider operations, stepping in where needed and adapting with the business as production demands evolve.
The Key Ingredients:
