* Plan all maintenance activities in your working area.
* Coach colleagues in maintenance behaviours, tools and technical understanding.
* Develop a Skill and Capability Journey for the maintenance team, including Operator Maintenance, Planning and Scheduling.

* Own and develop high‑quality maintenance standards, including SOPs.
* Contribute to the 5‑year asset development plan covering maintenance investments, sustainability actions and spare‑part optimisation.


Who You Are

* HNC‑qualified and time‑served with strong mechanical maintenance experience in the FMCG sector.
* Confident in applying and maintaining Basic Standard Condition and disciplined engineering standards.
* Experienced in using SAP to plan, record and manage maintenance activities.
* Methodical, organised and committed to consistent delivery of high‑quality work.
