Job Description
Are you extraordinary, just like our chocolate?

At Montezuma's, we believe our chocolate is extraordinary - and so are our people.

There's a fun, positive vibe in our Factory and Head Office at Birdham, and that's all down to our team. Our people tell us they love working here because of the culture, the great hours, the brilliant colleagues and of course, the chocolate.

With ambitious growth plans and lots happening across the business, we're expanding our team again. That means we're looking for a talented Site Engineer to help us keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.

What's this role all about?

This is a key position within our Birdham site, where our Factory and Head Office are based. You'll play a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency, reliability, and performance of our manufacturing equipment and facilities.

You will:

  • Play a central role in maintaining manufacturing equipment and site facilities
  • Carry out planned preventive maintenance (PPM)
  • Troubleshoot faults and carry out repairs
  • Ensure minimal downtime and optimal production performance
  • Implement continuous improvement initiatives
  • Uphold and promote high safety standards
  • Manage maintenance documentation and inventory
  • Oversee external service contracts and contractors
  • Ensure quality, compliance and operational excellence

This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same - perfect for someone who enjoys solving problems and making a real impact.

What we're looking for

We need someone who is:

  • Experienced in a manufacturing environment (desirable)
  • Electrically qualified with strong electrical knowledge
  • Holding relevant engineering qualifications
  • A collaborative team player
  • Analytical with strong problem-solving skills
  • Confident in written and verbal communication
  • Reliable, proactive and not afraid of a challenge

You'll also need to be able to travel to our Birdham site (PO20 7BT), as this is a site-based role.

Hours: 40 hours per week (typically Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm - flexibility required)
