Job Summary

Maintenance Engineer
Are you looking for a role where your expertise can make a real difference?

IFF is a global leader in flavors, fragrances, food ingredients and health & biosciences, we deliver sustainable innovations that elevate everyday products.

Innovating improved nutritional profiles, better taste and texture, and greater cost efficiency to meet the needs of global food and beverage manufacturers.

As a Maintenance Engineer you will support the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of manufacturing equipment. The role is responsible for maintaining plant availability, supporting continuous improvement, and ensuring compliance with safety, quality, and environmental standards.

The role is based in Beaminster, United Kingdom in an onsite capacity.

The Beaminster site is a key production facility within IFF's Cellulosic & Food Protection business. We manufacture a food preservative, E234 (Nisaplin), used in food protection and preservation, serving customers globally. The site runs continuous batch production processes, including fermentation, filtration, pH adjustment, waste treatment (MF & UF systems), and powder recovery operations.

Where you will make a difference

Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and respond to reactive breakdowns across site equipment and utilities
Diagnose faults and implement effective, timely repairs to minimize downtime
Support production teams in maintaining optimal plant performance and resolving operational issues
Ensure all engineering work is carried out in line with site safety procedures, permit systems, and food safety requirements
Maintain accurate maintenance records and documentation (CMMS, where applicable)
Support and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives (reliability, efficiency, cost reduction)
Assist with installation, commissioning, and validation of new equipment or modifications (MOC process)
Ensure compliance with regulatory and internal standards (HSE, GMP, environmental controls)
Work collaboratively with Operations, Quality, and EHS teams
Support audits and inspections as required

What makes you the right fit

Proven experience in an engineering/maintenance role within manufacturing (food, pharma, or similar highly regulated environment preferred)
Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills (electrical and/or mechanical)
Good understanding of PPM systems and maintenance best practices
Experience working with pumps, valves, filtration systems (UF/MF), and process equipment is beneficial
Awareness of food safety and hygiene standards (GMP)
Ability to work independently and as part of a small team
Good communication skills and a proactive, “can-do” attitude
Engineering qualification (e.g., NVQ Level 3, HNC/HND, or equivalent in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering)

How would you stand out?

Electrical qualification (e.g., 18th Edition or equivalent) preferred
Multi-skilled (electrical bias) candidates are highly desirable
Flexible approach to working hours (to support production needs, shutdowns, or callouts if required)
Commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement
Ability to work in a food manufacturing environment

Why Choose us?

Join a global leader in food innovation and ingredient solutions.
Access opportunities for learning, career advancement, and personal growth.
Enjoy competitive compensation and benefits designed to support your well-being.

We are a global leader in taste, scent, and nutrition, offering our customers a broader range of natural solutions and accelerating our growth strategy. At IFF, we believe that your uniqueness unleashes our potential. We value the diverse mosaic of the ethnicity, national origin, race, age, sex, or veteran status. We strive for an inclusive workplace that allows each of our colleagues to bring their authentic self to work regardless of their religion, gender identity & expression, sexual orientation, or disability.
