As a Manufacturing Technician, we’ll depend on you to keep things running like clockwork. A hands-on, operations and technical role, you’ll have your own area of responsibility but be able to apply your skills across the factory. Our environment is state of the art, clean and as a leading blue chip company we offer excellent career development opportunities within.

• Taking the lead on troubleshooting.
• Proactively finding ways to improve line performance utilising key skills in innovation and teamwork.
• Taking ownership of scheduling maintenance effectively to maximise service levels.

You’ll be contracted to an average of 39 hours per week. We have a flex 4 contract in place, which includes the possibility of working 4 different shift patterns. The 3 shift and continental shift patterns (four on, four off) are the most predominant on site.

The experience we’re looking for:

• You hold a level 3 engineering or maintenance qualification.
• You have a strong mechanical aptitude and thrive in a fast-paced FMCG environment.
• You can troubleshoot and repair sophisticated machinery (such as electrical, pneumatic or mechanical systems).
• You can respond urgently to immediate problems but be disciplined enough to plan routine tasks, future improvements and preventative maintenance.
• You are an effective communicator, who can both influence and keep others well informed.
• You like to innovate and challenge the status quo.
