As ‘the UK’s No. 1 Bakery Brand’ we have been baking bread since 1876. Today, we are proudly a fifth-generation family, with the introduction of the sixth generation, supplying over 18,000 retail customers from 11 bakeries and 16 depots, producing a range of over 70 products including gluten and wheat free. Family and values are what makes us different, and we are a proud bunch, join us and you too could be proud to be Warburtons.
Are you an experienced Engineering Team Leader, Lead Engineer or Multi-Skilled Engineer ready to take the next step?
We’re looking for an Engineering Team Leader to join our team at 41 Bakery in Wakefield, leading and supporting a small team of Multi-Skilled Engineers working a 4 on, 4 off shift pattern across days and nights.
This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll combine your engineering knowledge with your ability to get the best from people.
No two shifts will be quite the same. You’ll lead and develop a small team of Multi-Skilled Engineers, keeping the bakery running safely and reliably. You’ll coordinate planned and reactive maintenance, tackle more complex engineering issues and work closely with Production to reduce downtime and improve performance.
Alongside the day-to-day, you’ll coach your team, champion safety and encourage new ideas and better ways of working. It’s a hands-on leadership role where you can make a real difference to both your people and the bakery.
You’ll bring a strong engineering background, but just as importantly, you’ll enjoy working with people and creating a positive, high-performing team.
We’re looking for:
At last and by no means least you will want to know what your breads worth.
We respect and value difference. We look to create an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. Companies that are diverse in age, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, or any other aspect which makes them unique, are proven to be better companies. More importantly, creating an environment where everyone, from any background, can do their best work, is the right thing to do.

At Warburtons, family is at the heart of our business. Five generations' worth of expertise that goes into making our bakery products allows us to continue a tradition of baking inherited over the past 147 years.
Warburtons is the largest bakery brand in the UK, but that doesn't allow us to rest on our laurels. We are pioneers of the industry and ambitious market leaders, always seeking to challenge ourselves and convention. It is part of our philosophy to provide honest good sense on issues of health and well-being, helping the whole family to enjoy our products as part of a healthy, balanced diet, through a range of products to suit all meal occasions, lifestyles and tastes.
