Full job description

Reliability Engineer

Location: Ultrapharm, Pontypool
Shift: Monday – Friday (Days)

We have an opportunity for Reliability Engineer to join our Engineering Team on our Pontypool site as part of the Finsbury Food Group.

Finsbury Food Group is a leading specialty bakery manufacturer. We constantly raise quality and efficiency standards and build long-term relationships within the food service channel. Finsbury offer a wide range of bakery products and are a leading frozen supplier in the Foodservice sector.

Ultrapharm is a dedicated Gluten Free Bakery specialising in only Gluten Free Product since 1993. The Company’s unique approach to craft and baking creates premium gluten – free products with the flavour and taste of traditional bread. If you have special dietary need or nutritional preferences, then our Pontypool bakery has you covered. Our Products range from artisanal bread to our award winning Hot cross buns and Mince pies for Major Retailers such as M&S and Waitrose.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic, fast-paced manufacturing environment where quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement are at the heart of everything we do.

This is what you’ll actually do!

You’ll lead and inspire a small team of engineers and technical operatives, creating a culture that puts safety, reliability and performance first. Day to day, you’ll make sure maintenance activity is prioritised and delivered effectively — reducing downtime, improving equipment reliability and keeping operations running smoothly.

You’ll take ownership of analysing top operational losses, using Root Cause Analysis and A3 problem-solving to identify practical, sustainable solutions. From there, you’ll implement reliability improvement initiatives that make a measurable difference on site.

A key part of your role will be supporting the deployment of TPM and Autonomous Maintenance, helping to embed standards and develop capability within the team. You’ll coach and grow your people — building skills, engagement and accountability so they can perform at their best.

You’ll also support the standardisation and continuous improvement of engineering processes, contribute to capital and automation projects locally, and collaborate with wider FFG Engineering colleagues to share best practice.
When required, you’ll step in to deputise for the Site Engineering Lead — providing confident, capable leadership and continuity across the function.

Ideally this is you!

Experienced in engineering maintenance or reliability within FMCG/food manufacturing.
Knowledgeable in TPM, Asset Care, and Root Cause Analysis principles.
Skilled in team coaching and development.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and IT skills (MS Office; PowerBI desirable).
Excellent communicator with confidence to share updates with teams and management.
Degree in Engineering or relevant technical qualification desirable.
Proactive, collaborative, and able to manage multiple initiatives effectively.
Committed to safe working practices, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.

What’s in it for you?

Enhanced Maternity & Paternity Leave to allow quality time with your new arrival!
Enhanced Pension Scheme for our employees
Death in Service Benefit
Free Employee Assistance Programme (open to colleagues and their families)
Retail discounts accessible via our Benefits Hub platform!
Refer a Friend Scheme (up to £300 per referral – T&C’s dependent)
Employee Recognition Awards· Extensive Learning & Development opportunities (including opportunities for sponsored professional memberships and our own in-house development course!)
An opportunity to be part of a fantastic, growing organisation. Head over to our LinkedIn page to find out more!

Our vision is to be the leading specialty bakery group in the UK, and we want the best people in place to achieve this. Our continued success is built entirely on the talented people who work here, so employee development is important to us because everyone is a valued member of the team, and we want every individual to have the skills and capabilities to achieve both your own personal goals and our business goals. We want good people to join our company, to help our company continue to go from strength to strength. If this sounds like you, please get in contact to learn more!
