We’re supporting a well-established manufacturing business in Glossop in their search for a Shift Engineer, following a retirement within the team.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲, 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧.

The role runs on a structured 4 on / 4 off rotation (2 days, 2 nights, then 4 off), offering predictability and regular blocks of time away from site across the year. For many, it offers a far better balance than a traditional Monday–Friday setup.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭: “Many of the engineers have worked the same shift pattern for years, it’s a close-knit team, and they really look forward to coming into work; there’s plenty of banter, strong support on shift and a real sense of comradery.”

It’s a stable, well-invested environment where you’re trusted to get on with the job, supported by an experienced team and part of a business where people build long-term careers.
