ASAP Join a World-Class Manufacturing Team in Peterborough Are you an experienced Electrical Engineer ready to take on a role where your expertise directly supports high speed manufacturing? At Crown, we're not just producing cans-we're creating world-class products with precision, innovation, and pride. With over 130 years of global success, 179 plants across 39 countries, and a reputation for operational excellence, we offer the stability of a global leader combined with the energy of a growing, cutting-edge site. Our Peterborough facility is a standout success story, recognised internally as "Overall Best Plant in EMEA" within just three years of opening. We're now looking for an Electrical Engineer, a unique opportunity to play a key role in our growing operation.
The Opportunity In this hands-on technical role, you'll be responsible for maintaining and optimising electrical systems across the plant, ensuring minimal disruption to production and full compliance with safety standards. You'll work closely with our team of engineers to resolve and implement innovative solutions that improve efficiency and performance. From fault-finding and repairs to installation and modification of equipment, you'll play a key role in keeping the production line running at peak performance. This role also involves analysing line performance, updating PLC software, and supporting continuous improvement initiatives to maximise output and reliability.
What you'll bring You'll be a proactive and technically skilled Electrical Engineer with a strong commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement. You'll thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and be confident working both independently and as part of a team. A Level 3 Apprenticeship (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering or Mechatronic Engineering (with an electrical bias) is essential. Experience in high-speed manufacturing environments, along with knowledge of fault-finding techniques and basic programming, and experience with Allen Bradley PLCs will be highly beneficial. You'll also bring a “can-do” attitude, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to support and collaborate with production teams to minimise downtime and improve performance.
What's on Offer Salary of £57,089, inclusive of shift allowance Generous pension scheme, healthcare benefits Structured shift pattern providing consistency and balance Opportunity to work with industry-leading, automated manufacturing technology

You'll be joining a business that genuinely lives its values-where high performance is recognised, development is supported, and teamwork is at the core of everything we do. If you're looking for more than just a job-if you want to be part of a team that's setting the standard in manufacturing and building something exceptional-this could be your next move!!!
