As an integral part of the team within a wider business, you will be a clear communicator and an effective team player that can manage and prioritise multiple tasks simultaneously.

The successful candidate will require the following attributes:

• Trade qualified Mechanical Fitter, Fitter & Turner or equivalent recognised mechanical trade.


• Minimum 3 years' experience within a manufacturing or industrial maintenance environment.


• Strong mechanical troubleshooting and fault-finding capability, with experience resolving equipment breakdowns.
