Reliability Engineer | East Kilbride 

A well established, multi-site manufacturer is looking for a Reliability Engineer to join their engineering team at their East Kilbride site. This is a great opportunity to step into a role where reliability is the core focus, not just one strand of a wider engineering remit, within a business that offers genuine progression across multiple UK sites.

What you'll be doing:

  • Managing asset reliability through the development and deployment of planned preventative maintenance activity
  • Leading breakdown review and root cause analysis, applying lean tools and best practice to constantly improve asset performance
  • Managing critical spares and consumables availability to support the site
  • Using CMMS data to shape and refine PM strategy, driving improvements in reliability, efficiency and cost
  • Supporting the rollout of asset care and autonomous maintenance activity in partnership with Operations
  • Acting as a technical point of reference for maintenance supervisors and technicians
  • Getting involved in continuous improvement projects across the site

What's needed:

  • Multi-skilled engineer (mechanical and electrical), ideally FMCG or food manufacturing background, though other high-speed manufacturing environments will be considered
  • Strong track record in PPM, breakdown analysis and reliability-focused maintenance
  • Experience managing critical spares would be a real advantage
  • Comfortable analysing CMMS and plant data to make evidence-based maintenance decisions
  • Some front-line management or team leadership experience preferred
  • A proactive, improvement-driven mindset

On offer

  • Monday to Friday role
  • Genuine progression within a wider group with multiple sites across the UK
