Full job description

PrepWorld is seeking an experienced and driven Hygiene & Engineering Manager - Nights, to lead our site hygiene and engineering functions, ensuring best-in-class food safety, compliance, and operational performance in a fast-paced food manufacturing environment. To function across night operations.
This senior role offers the opportunity to shape and embed a high-performing hygiene culture that drives food safety excellence, equipment reliability, cost-effective compliance, and operational agility in a fast-paced food manufacturing environment.

Dual reporting to the Site Engineering Manager and the FS Hygiene Manager, the role will be responsible for delivering Engineering and Hygiene KPI attainment to tasks in line with BRCGS and customer standards through a risk-based, data-driven approach. The role will lead a moderate Engineering team and a large Hygiene team, drive continuous improvement in equipment reliability and departmental spend, and ensure the night shift achieves consistent and audit-ready standards.

This role is a senior site management position at night, acting as the senior decision-maker across Engineering and Hygiene departments, with dotted-line accountability to Night Operations Manager for escalations, emergency response, and product release decisions during night hours.

Main Duties & Key Accountabilities

Engineering & Operational Oversight
Lead and coordinate all planned engineering activities during night shifts to ensure smooth, compliant operations.
Monitor equipment performance, resolve technical issues promptly, and minimise production downtime.
Ensure all machinery and tools meet safety and maintenance standards; oversee permit-to-work compliance.
Hygiene Strategy & Compliance
Deliver the site hygiene plan during night operations; ensure all areas are audit-ready (including low risk, high care, and external zones).
Own hygiene validation processes at night (e.g., swabbing, ATP testing, allergen controls) and maintain cleaning schedules, SSOPs, and visual standards.
Represent hygiene during customer and third-party audits, ensuring full documentation and traceability.

Health, Safety & Risk Control

Conduct risk assessments and ensure safe working practices across hygiene and engineering teams.
Lead investigations into incidents and near-misses; implement corrective actions promptly.
Promote a proactive safety culture through training, routine checks, and compliance monitoring.

Leadership & Team Development

Lead and support a multi-cultural, multi-skilled team to consistently deliver on hygiene and engineering targets.
Build a culture of ownership, high performance, and continuous improvement through coaching and structured feedback.
Develop team capability through clear objectives, regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and succession planning.

Efficiency & Continuous Improvement

Manage labour, chemical, and water usage to achieve cost-effective engineering & hygiene outcomes.
Drive innovation and continuous improvement in cleaning methods, hygienic design, and digital tools.
Track engineering & hygiene KPIs (e.g., swab pass rates, cleaning scores, chemical usage) and implement targeted improvements

Person Specification and Skill Requirements
Essential:

Proven leadership experience in engineering, hygiene or operational management within FMCG—ideally chilled, high-care, or short shelf-life production.
