About The Role
As the Technician, you’ll work within our bottling line of production; we support the production of approximately 4.2 mhl per year brewing and packaging some of the nation’s favourite brands, so we need to make sure our machinery is in top condition! Our technicians utilise their proactivity to identify any abnormalities on the plant; to mitigate any downtime of production whilst also working to support colleagues directly on the shop floor and monitor the overall performance of the production line.

* Drive Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) initiatives to eliminate losses and promote lean practices.
* Plan and coordinate maintenance activities with Maintenance colleagues, Operators and Technicians to maximise production reliability.
* Support and guide shop‑floor operators, delegating tasks when required to maintain smooth production.
* Collaborate with operators on autonomous maintenance (AM) tasks and assist the shift manager with asset‑related issues affecting performance.
* Identify and record non‑conformities in the CMMS to support continuous improvement.
* Maintain high standards of equipment cleanliness and reliability, contributing to site objectives for safety, quality, cost and service.
* Champion and uphold HSE standards to maintain a safe, clean and compliant working environment.
