Electrical Maintenance Supervisor
Cullompton, Devon
Monday to Friday, Days (Flexible Hours)
Circa £47,000
No nights | Work-life balance | Real influence on site
We’re working with a long-established manufacturing business based near Tiverton within a continuous process environment. This is a smaller, close-knit site with a strong team culture, offering a more relaxed and flexible working environment compared to larger FMCG operations.
This is an opportunity for an electrically biased engineer to step into a supervisory role, leading a small team while still remaining hands-on, with genuine scope to influence how engineering is run on site.


The role
You’ll be responsible for supporting a team of 5 electrical engineers within a wider maintenance team of 12.
This is a days-based role (Monday to Friday) with flexibility around start and finish times, giving you the ability to work around life outside of work.
Key responsibilities include:
*Leading day-to-day electrical maintenance activities across site
*Supporting both reactive and planned maintenance (PPM)
*Fault finding on electrical systems and supporting the wider team
*Coordinating contractors and overseeing work on site
*Supporting small projects, installations and plant improvements
*Contributing to maintenance planning and improving reliability
The role is hands-on but also gives you the platform to take ownership and shape engineering standards on site.


Machinery & Environment
*Continuous process machinery (paper machines, rollers, conveyors)
*3-phase systems, motors, drives, panels and control systems
*PLC-controlled equipment (fault finding level)
*Mix of legacy and newer plant
*General site services and infrastructure


What they’re looking for
*Electrically biased maintenance engineer
*Experience within manufacturing, process or industrial environments
*Confident fault finding on 3-phase systems, drives, panels and controls
*Previous leadership experience or someone ready to step up
*Comfortable supporting a team while remaining hands-on
*Practical, proactive and able to work with autonomy


What’s on offer
*circa £47,000 salary (depending on experience)
*Monday to Friday, days role - no nights
*Flexible working hours (early or later starts available)
*1 in 4 callout - very rare and typically phone support only
*Strong work-life balance compared to shift roles
*Opportunity to step into leadership and influence the site
*Stable, long-standing business with a supportive team culture


This role would suit an electrically biased engineer looking to move away from shifts, step into a leadership position, and have real input into how a site is run.
