The Role
As a maintenance engineer, you’ll work with a range of heavy-duty automated machinery including:
1. Large mixers and slicers
2. Conveyors, silos, and hoppers
3. Kilns, hydraulics, and pneumatics systems
Your focus will be 70% reactive and 30% PPM, using a tablet system for job tracking. While multi-skilled competency is key, this role places a strong emphasis on mechanical maintenance and repair.
