This isn't a desk job. When the plant stops, you're the reason it starts again. Fast. Safe. Properly.

The job

Keep production moving. Fix faults. Maintain equipment. Make sure everything runs efficiently and safely. Planned maintenance matters. So does real fault-finding-not just slapping it back together.

You'll work with single- and three-phase electrical systems across machinery, conveyors, drives, and automated kit. You'll support OEE targets by identifying improvements and actually implementing them.

• Collaborating with engineering leadership and external support

• Following LO/TO, COSHH, and all H&S procedures

• Logging all labour and parts in the PPM system (SAP)

• Training and supporting staff on safe machine operation

• Completing accurate documentation and reporting issues promptly

• Helping reduce environmental impact through waste reduction and recycling

• Ability to work under pressure without panicking
