The Role

This is a practical, machine-focused role centred on keeping our automation, moulding, and assembly equipment operational. You’ll respond to breakdowns, carry out planned servicing, drive continuous improvement, and support resolution of equipment-related quality issues.

• Carry out general repairs across the facility and building services.
• Maintain accurate records, logs, and documentation.
• Support electrical and control system tasks where required; training available.
• Work in line with health, safety, quality, and compliance requirements at all times.
• Carry out other reasonable duties as requested to meet business needs.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven hands-on experience keeping equipment running, ideally in a manufacturing or production environment.
• Strong mechanical fault-finding and repair skills.
• A proactive, problem-solving approach and the ability to stay calm under pressure during breakdowns.
• Good record-keeping and communication skills.
• Electrical and/or PLC experience is desirable but not essential.
