You’ll be working as part of a small maintenance team where the main focus will be to improve the reliability of production equipment through both planned maintenance activities and specific continuous improvement projects.

  • Experience of working with 5S standards (desirable)
  • Good all-round PC skills
  • Good knowledge of pneumatics
  • A willingness to learn and a can-do attitude
  • A proven track record of using your initiative and being self motivated
  • A desire to progress and develop in your career
