Engineering Manager

Blue Oak Recruitment
Liverpool
Are you an experienced Engineering leader with a strategic mindset and a passion for solving problems at their root?

We’re working with a fast-paced FMCG business seeking a forward-thinking Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing team and drive sustainable operational excellence.

This is a role for someone who doesn’t just fix issues as they arise but takes a step back to understand why they happen — and builds long-term solutions that prevent them from returning.

Key responsibilities:

* Lead, coach, and develop a team of engineers, creating a culture of accountability, collaboration, and high performance

* Take a strategic approach to engineering challenges, using data and insight to identify trends and prioritise improvements

* Own and drive root cause analysis across site issues, ensuring robust, long-term corrective actions are implemented

* Deliver continuous improvement initiatives that enhance reliability, efficiency, and overall equipment performance

* Optimise planned preventative maintenance (PPM) strategies to minimise downtime and maximise productivity

* Support and lead change initiatives that strengthen operational capability and future-proof the site

What we’re looking for:

* Proven experience in an Engineering Manager role within a fast paced manufacturer

* A strategic thinker who can balance short-term pressures with long-term improvement goals

* Strong expertise in root cause analysis methodologies and a track record of implementing sustainable solutions

* Demonstrated success in driving continuous improvement and leading change

* An engaging leader who can influence, develop, and motivate teams

* Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with a proactive and solutions-focused approach

This is an opportunity to step into a role where you can make a lasting impact — shaping both the engineering function and the wider operational strategy.
