Electrical Technician

Are you an electrically biased engineer who enjoys solving problems, working with advanced manufacturing technology, and making a real impact every shift? As an Electrical Technician at our Llantarnam bakery, you'll play a vital role in supporting the performance, reliability, and efficiency of our production operation, helping to ensure our much-loved biscuits reach customers across the UK.

Working as part of a highly skilled and supportive engineering team, you'll enjoy a varied role where no two shifts are the same. From supporting state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and automation systems to contributing to continuous improvement initiatives, you'll have the opportunity to develop your technical expertise while helping to drive operational excellence across the site.

You'll work a rotating 4-week shift pattern covering mornings, afternoons and nights, with shift times including 6:00am-2:00pm, 2:00pm-10:00pm and 10:00pm-6:00am. The pattern averages 39 hours per week and provides 8 days off every four weeks, including regular long weekends and consecutive rest days to support a healthy work-life balance

This is an excellent opportunity to join a business that continues to invest in its people, technology, and facilities. If you're motivated by problem-solving, continuous improvement, and developing your engineering career within a world-class food manufacturing environment, we'd love to hear from you.
