Work closely with Production and Quality teams to optimise processes
Contribute to continuous improvement and reliability initiatives

Strong electrical fault-finding and maintenance skills

Analytical, systematic thinker with strong attention to detail
Calm and methodical under pressure
Able to work both independently and collaboratively
Flexible, reliable, and motivated to learn

You’ll be well rewarded for your skills with clear, structured pay progression.
You’ll join a company that keeps its people known for long service and genuine investment in staff.
You’ll have a voice: engineers are encouraged to bring ideas and shape how things are done.
