What do I need?
* Experience as a Maintenance Engineer
* An appropriate Engineering qualification
* Knowledge of Health & Safety standards
* Experience in food manufacturing or FMCG environments is desirable but not essential
* Multi-skilled in mechanical and electrical areas
* PLC experience is a bonus
Why join the family?
