• Implement controlled changes to boost line performance and efficiency

• Coach operators on how the kit actually works

What you need

• Completion of an indentured apprenticeship

• Multi-skilled qualification: Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics (BTEC, ONC, HNC or similar)

• Previous FMCG experience

• Production line mindset - understand flows, not just fix bits

• Pneumatics, hydraulics, steam, and electrical systems

• Bench fitting skills for machinery repair

• TIG or hygienic welding a bonus

What's on offer

• Competitive salary

• 33 days holiday + option to buy 5 more

• Pension contribution and life assurance

• Staff discounts on food, drink, hotels, and retail

• Employee assistance program covering mental health, financial, legal support

• Career progression and training - multi-level development if you actually want it

If you take pride in solving problems, keeping machines running, and quietly making the production line look easy, this role will fit.
