Why Tadcaster?
There has never been a more exciting time to join our Tadcaster Brewery. Founded by John Smith in 1758, Tadcaster boasts a brewing heritage second to none. A high-tempo site that incorporates brewing, packaging, and logistics, it’s a Heineken brewery where tradition and innovation come together to produce over 60 million pints a year. We proudly brew and package some of the most important lager and ale brands in the UK, such as John Smith’s, Birra Moretti, Desperados, Murphy’s, Fosters, Kronenbourg 1664, Amstel, and Tiger.
What’s the role?
Using your extensive experience across utilities, site services and hard facilities, you’ll support the Head of Engineering by driving the development and implementation of maintenance strategies. You’ll lead and support a team of site services technicians to deliver efficiency and enhanced asset reliability across generation and distribution of utilities. You’ll need to be a skilled organiser as you will have to prioritise and manage engineering colleagues (direct, indirect & contract) to deliver maintenance of site services across our brewery, with full utilisation of the site CMMS and making sure that the team delivers on the weekly maintenance schedule. Being accountable for your repairs and maintenance budget, you will manage and prioritise spend appropriately.
At the heart of what you’ll deliver is compliance with all relevant safety and statutory requirements, with all of your achievements being clearly visible through improvements in KPIs (we use TPM methodology to deliver continuous improvement). But above all, it will be your people management that will make you stand out to us. We need you to coach, develop, and motivate your team to meet performance targets and comply with HEINEKEN’s very high standards. The focus you place on developing your team will allow you to realise their potential, thus achieving optimum asset reliability, and of course, you’ll always Put Safety First.
What are we looking for?
An experienced people manager, who is a qualified electrical, mechanical, process, or chemical engineer.
You will be responsible for operation and maintenance of steam generation, ammonia/glycol cooling, HV electrical distribution, CO2 recovery, water treatment, compressed air generation and buildings infrastructure, as well as coordinating work with suppliers who operate the effluent treatment plant and nitrogen generation plant - so experience across these areas is highly desirable.
Ideally, you’ll have IOSH/NEBOSH qualifications already, but we can put you through the training if not. Compliance is a key area of this role, so a strong understanding of statutory aspects such as: pressure systems, asbestos, Legionella, DSEAR, LOLER, boiler operations (ideally a BOAS qualification), refrigeration gases, process gases and electricity at work.
Your can-do attitude and enthusiasm will be warmly welcomed and your problem-solving skills will be put to good use. If you have a positive outlook with a continuous improvement mindset, and solid experience of modern planned maintenance techniques, site services and engineering compliance areas, then we want to hear from you.
