- Working safely and efficiently within electrical panels, including isolations, motor controls, sensors, relays, and PLCs.
- Working closely with the Supervisor and Engineering Manager to prioritise work and keep production running smoothly.
Requirements:
- A recognised qualification or apprenticeship in electrical or mechanical engineering.

- Comfortable with both reactive and preventative maintenance tasks.
- Electrical bias preferred but not essential.
- Familiarity with CMMS systems and maintenance reporting.
- A team player with a proactive and hands-on approach to engineering challenges.
