  • Good mechanical maintenance knowledge.
  • Experience with PLCs, automation and industrial control systems.
  • A proactive approach to problem-solving and preventative maintenance.
  • Relevant electrical or engineering qualifications.

Food manufacturing experience would be advantageous, but strong maintenance experience from other manufacturing sectors will also be considered.

What's in it for you?

  • Competitive Salary
  • Continental shift pattern covering days and nights.
