• A good working knowledge of maintenance strategies such as RCM, PM, CBM, and TPM
• An understanding of permit-to-work systems, safe systems of work, and accident reporting
• The flexibility and willingness to multi-skill across electrical and mechanical disciplines
• The ability to work safely at heights, in confined spaces, and in dusty or dirty environments

What you'll get in return: In return, you'll receive a competitive salary and access to a comprehensive benefits package designed to support both your professional development and personal wellbeing. This includes:

• 26 days annual leave
• Pension scheme with up to 10% matched employer contribution
