You will be comfortable working independently, taking initiative and working collaboratively with Production and other departments.

This is an opportunity to join an established engineering function in a varied, hands-on role with the opportunity to:

• Contribute directly to equipment reliability and production continuity.
• Work across a range of engineering and maintenance activities.
• Develop your skills across multi-skilled engineering systems.
• Support and mentor an engineering apprentice.
