Working safely and efficiently within electrical panels, including isolations, motor controls, sensors, relays, and PLCs.
Supporting continuous improvement activities and looking for ways to reduce downtime.
Working closely with the Supervisor and Engineering Manager to prioritise work and keep production running smoothly.
What you'll need to succeed:
A recognised qualification or apprenticeship in electrical or mechanical engineering.
Solid experience in a maintenance role within a production or manufacturing setting.
Comfortable with both reactive and preventative maintenance tasks.
Electrical bias preferred but not essential

A team player with a proactive and hands-on approach to engineering challenges.
