Ensure minimal downtime and contribute to continuous improvement
Work independently and manage your own workload effectively
Candidate Requirements

18th Edition Wiring Regulations (17th or 16th considered)
Strong fault-finding and problem-solving ability
Hands-on approach with a willingness to work on the tools
Desirable:
Basic mechanical skills (hydraulics, pneumatics)
Experience within manufacturing or industrial environments
The Ideal Candidate
Enjoys practical, hands-on engineering work
Self-sufficient and able to work without close supervision
Takes ownership rather than just reporting issues
Comfortable working in a changing, evolving environment
Reliable and trustworthy-someone who can be left to get the job done
