• Ensuring all maintenance activities are completed safely and in line with company procedures.

The Person

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• A recognised engineering apprenticeship or equivalent engineering qualification.
• Strong practical mechanical maintenance experience within a manufacturing environment.
• Experience with hydraulics, pneumatics, bearings, gearboxes, drives and mechanical machinery.
• A good understanding of electrical systems and the ability to undertake basic electrical fault-finding.
• The ability to read and understand mechanical and electrical drawings.
• Some experience working with PLCs, automated machinery and robots.
• A proactive approach to preventative maintenance and machinery reliability.
• Previous experience within a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
