• A minimum Level II engineering qualification, either mechanical or multi-skilled with mechanical bias
• Welding and fabrication skills and experience
• Engineering experience within a comparable environment or transferable skills from a different industry
• A continuous improvement mindset with the ability to identify opportunities and offer solutions
• Ability to collaborate and communicate with production, quality, logistics and management
• Experience in project work, including CAPEX investments and CI initiatives

What you will be doing:

• Performing planned and reactive maintenance tasks on our machinery including mixing machines, bagging machines, presses etc
• Fabrication of parts and performing welding tasks where required
• Work on projects to continually improve and future proof our site, including installation of new machinery via CAPEX investments
