• Replace and rebuild worn or damaged components, and identify and source the correct spare parts.
• Conduct quality control checks, performance testing and trial runs to verify output consistency, seal integrity, speed and accuracy against specifications.
• Apply quality assurance processes before handover and following repairs, ensuring equipment meets the agreed performance standards.
• Prepare and maintain accurate service reports, maintenance logs, commissioning records and technical reports for internal records and customer compliance.
• Provide technical guidance to customer operators and maintenance staff on safe operation, routine care and basic fault-finding.
• Work in accordance with workplace health and safety requirements, including isolation, lockout and tagout procedures and machine guarding standards.

• Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to diagnose faults methodically under time pressure.
