Job Title: Shift Mechanical Engineer

Department: Hot Rolled Products (HRP)

Location: Port Talbot (SA13)

Salary: £45,500 - £52,000 per annum (includes 30% Shift Allowance)

Closing Date: Wednesday 3rd June 2026

We believe that our strength is not just in our steel but the diversity of our workforce. Our people make the difference.

Help us keep steel at the heart of a greener future.

At Tata Steel, our strength is not just in our steel – it’s in our people. As we move towards cleaner, more efficient steelmaking, we’re looking for talented engineers to help us deliver the highest standards of safety, reliability, and performance across our operations.

We’re now recruiting for a Mechanical Shift Engineer to join our Hot Rolled Products (HRP) department in Port Talbot. This role is vital in maintaining plant performance, leading engineering teams, and driving continuous improvement in a fast-paced production environment.

What you will do

As a Shift Engineer, you’ll provide the first line of engineering expertise for the Hot Rolled Products plant. You’ll lead the shift engineering teams, diagnose and resolve complex faults, and ensure all maintenance and repair activities are completed safely and efficiently.

You’ll work closely with Shift Managers, Day Engineers, and Manufacturing Teams to:

Lead and coordinate engineering activities across shifts.
Diagnose major plant faults and implement effective solutions.
Ensure compliance with all safety and statutory requirements (PUWER, DSEAR, LOLER, COMAH).
Manage maintenance work orders in SAP and promote effective use of the system across your team.
Drive performance improvements through root cause analysis, preventative maintenance, and high-performance initiatives.
Mentor and develop Shift Engineering Specialists, supporting skill development and training plans.

This is a hands-on role where your technical expertise, leadership, and judgement will directly impact production performance and team safety.

What you will need

We’re looking for an experienced engineer who thrives in a high-performing, 24/7 manufacturing environment. You’ll have:

A recognised qualification (HNC or higher) in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering.
Completion of a relevant craft apprenticeship or equivalent practical training.
Experience in supervising or leading maintenance or engineering teams.
A strong understanding of preventative maintenance, process safety, and compliance standards.
The confidence to make sound decisions under pressure and communicate clearly across shifts.

You’ll be proactive, safety-conscious, and committed to delivering continuous improvement every shift.
