Mechanical Technician

📌 Multiskilled Maintenance Technician
📍 Caerphilly
💰 £40,000 starting salary, rising to £45,000 with progression

Yolk Recruitment is proud to represent an exciting opportunity to join a thriving FMCG manufacturer in Caerphilly. With over 15 years of sustained growth and a reputation for supplying some of the UK's most recognisable food outlets, this business offers a dynamic and rewarding environment for skilled technicians.

What You'll Do:

You'll be supporting high-speed, state-of-the-art machinery across two key production areas. From large-scale printing lines to automated packaging systems, your role will focus on preventative maintenance and performance optimisation.

You'll be expected to investigate and resolve recurring quality issues, using a methodical approach to identify root causes and implement long-term fixes.

This is a proactive role, not centred around reactive breakdown response. You'll work a rotating 3-shift pattern (mornings, afternoons and nights), Monday to Friday.

This is a rare opportunity to join a business that invests heavily in its people. You'll receive a structured onboarding

programme including time on the shop floor, shadowing senior engineers and hands-on training during shutdowns. Progression is clearly mapped, with salary increases at 9-12 months and again at 2 years once you've demonstrated initiative and completed a project.

Please apply with a CV and a cover letter outlining why you're perfect for the role.
