The successful candidate should have served a recognised Mechanical Apprenticeship and ideally be qualified to HNC/NVQ 3 Level. They should also have experience of operating in a continuous production environment.

The job involves providing hands on expertise assisting the manufacturing teams in the maintenance of a wide range of mechanical equipment including centrifugal pumps, compressors, centrifuges, agitators, conveyors, valves, filters, heat exchangers etc. We are looking for candidates who relish the challenge of understanding how the equipment works and the root cause of why equipment fails.

Successful candidates must have a high concern for standards, be prepared to become part of a flexible multi-skilled team and be capable of acting under their own initiative. A flexible approach to work is also required as there is a requirement for the successful candidate to be part of a call out rota for plant support outside of normal working hours.
