We have three sites all based in West Yorkshire and are currently seeking to recruit highly motivated and pro-active individuals to join our Engineering Department as Production Maintenance Engineers at our Knottingley site. Reporting to the Engineering Team Leader, the main purpose of the role is to provide ongoing and continuous support to production operations, ensuring optimum production efficiency at all times and that manufactured ware meets customer quality standards.

• Attending to and resolving equipment breakdowns in a timely manner

Suitable candidates should be both enthusiastic and committed, and have a can-do, pro-active approach to work.

In addition, an NVQ in an electrical discipline would be favourable, however, not essential.

This is a day position working 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday 7.00am to 3.00pm, however, there is an element of flexibility required for this role and as such these may change from time to time to suit factory needs.
