About the job

Are you currently in an engineering management role but feeling constrained by the limitations surrounding you? At Simpsons Malt, we are seeking a dynamic Site Maintenance Engineering Manager who will play an essential role in transforming our engineering function to meet the demands of the 21st century. This position is pivotal in fostering a collaborative partnership with our production teams to ensure that both internal and external customers receive optimal support.

Simpsons Malt Limited is a thriving family-owned business in the agricultural sector, recognized as a prominent grain merchant. We also boast state-of-the-art manufacturing operations in Norfolk and along the Scottish Border, dedicated to supplying specialty malts to the brewing and distilling industries.

Our clientele spans the globe, with a growing export market that caters to everyone from small craft microbrewers to large multinational distillers. We are committed to manufacturing excellence and employing lean tools such as 5S to enhance our operations.

This role is based at our Tivetshall Maltings, located near Diss, where we focus on supplying malt to the brewing industry. You will report directly to the Site Director and lead a team of approximately twelve individuals. Your mission will involve driving a cultural shift in our maintenance approach and processes, emphasizing reliability over mere breakdown recovery. The team has expanded rapidly in recent years, showing a high caliber of talent, but we recognize the need for coaching and development to enhance site-specific experience.

The site has seen significant investment to increase capacity, and while this will continue, we seek someone with a proven track record in building and developing a maintenance team focused on preventing breakdowns, rather than simply reacting to them. We are not looking for a hero who can fix equipment with makeshift solutions; we want someone who understands and embraces modern maintenance strategies.

As an experienced and knowledgeable manufacturing engineer, your role will be to inspire and elevate the performance of your team. You will be data-driven and possess a clear understanding of what excellence means in maintenance delivery in today’s manufacturing landscape.

We are in search of a true Manager, not just a Technician!
