Repair of equipment, basic welding involved whilst having to use electrical, pneumatic & hydraulic equipment
You will be required to get involved with the planned preventive maintenance (PPM), implementation of duties so the site can run efficiently as possible.
You need a strong mechanical background to be considered for this position as a lot of the work is reactive maintenance. This position does have the long-term prospects of stepping into a maintenance supervisory role!
