The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a reliable, hands-on Fabric Technician who takes pride in their work and understands the importance of maintaining a safe, professional and well-presented workplace. You will be practical, organised and comfortable working independently while supporting the wider facilities team.

Previous pharmaceutical experience would be advantageous but is not essential for a candidate with strong general building maintenance skills and the right attitude.

If you are an experienced Fabric Technician looking for a stable, Monday-to-Friday days role in Cramlington, this could be an excellent opportunity.
