About us:

Join one of Europe’s fastest-growing nutrition success stories.

Kendal Nutricare creates world-class nutrition for every stage of life — from Kendamil infant and toddler formula to Kendalife adult nutrition. We’re a family-owned, purpose-driven business with big global ambitions.

In 2025, we were ranked the UK’s fastest-growing food and drink company, with Kendamil now one of the fastest-growing baby brands in the world, the No.1 Organic formula in both the UK and USA, and available in 40+ countries (and counting).

As the only British infant formula manufacturer, we’re proud to produce our award-winning products here in the UK using British full-cream milk, with no palm oil or unnecessary additives — trusted by families worldwide.

We’re on an exciting path – join us!

The role:

As an Engineering Team Leader at Kendal Nutricare, you will report directly to the Head of Engineering and lead a small team of engineers in delivering comprehensive preventative maintenance, breakdown response, and repair services across the factory’s Primary, Packing, and Blending departments.

This is a full-time position based at our headquarters in Kendal, Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 4:00pm.

Coordinate and prioritise both planned and reactive maintenance activities to ensure all maintenance schedules remain current, with a target of no preventative maintenance tasks overdue by more than one month.
Work closely with the Quality and Electrical departments to ensure all calibrated equipment remains compliant and within certification dates.
Take ownership of engineering downtime by identifying root causes and implementing sustainable long-term solutions to improve reliability and performance.
Support the Engineering Technical Support function by supplying key information for the development of weekly engineering schedules and maintenance plans.
Support Production operations through effective planning of engineering activities and rapid resolution/root-cause analysis of breakdowns to help achieve production targets.
Act as a key communication link between management and shop floor teams, ensuring information is clearly and effectively shared.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives across production lines by coordinating and prioritising ideas generated by the secondary engineering team, and preparing business cases to secure investment approval.
Lead engineering projects from initial tender stage through to commissioning and final completion, defining scope, engaging stakeholders, and promoting innovative solutions.
Prepare project proposals, coordinate execution plans, complete required documentation, and oversee progress to ensure successful delivery.
Provide strong leadership, coaching, and mentoring to engineering team members, conducting regular one-to-one meetings, setting objectives, and arranging training to meet business and regulatory requirements.
Manage all engineering resource requirements, including sickness absence, overtime, holiday planning, shutdown coordination, and shift cover arrangements.
Issue and manage work permits as area supervisor/owner, ensuring completed permits are returned to the HSE Manager and that all Environmental, Health & Safety standards are maintained.
Raise and manage change controls in line with procedures for new equipment installations, while supporting audits and ensuring compliance with FDA and BRC standards.

What you’ll need:

NVQ Level 3 qualification in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
Previous supervisory or team leadership experience within an engineering or manufacturing environment.
Strong communication skills with the ability to delegate effectively and challenge where appropriate.
Proven ability to coach, mentor, and develop team members.
Logical and methodical approach to fault finding and problem solving.

Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise workload effectively.
Commitment to maintaining high standards of health, safety, and compliance.
Experience working within a fast-paced production or manufacturing environment preferred.
