What Its Like to Work Here
Were not a corporate environment and we dont pretend to be.
Small, experienced team where your work actually matters
Direct involvement in machine design, not just small pieces of it
Strong focus on R&D and continuous improvement
Real engineering challenges not repetitive production work
Opportunity to travel and see your machines running in the real world
A business that values practical thinking and problem solving over theory

If you enjoy:
Getting stuck in
Seeing things through from concept to commissioning
Working on genuinely bespoke equipment
...youll fit in here. xsngvjr

This role is NOT for you if:
You only want a desk-based programming role
You dont enjoy hands-on electrical work
Youre not open to occasional worldwide travel
You prefer repetitive production work over problem solving
To apply please forward your cv in word format.
