As a key member of the maintenance team, you’ll play a vital role in keeping critical production equipment running safely, efficiently and reliably. Your role will involve carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) across production equipment, diagnosing and repairing electrical faults to minimise downtime, and fault-finding on PLC-controlled machinery and automated systems. You will also support continuous improvement and reliability projects while ensuring all maintenance activities are completed safely and efficiently.
