People leadership will be central to your role: setting clear objectives, supporting the team in solving problems and developing their technical capabilities.

How we work

We value open communication and collaboration across departments. We encourage decisions informed by technical knowledge, data and the experience of the people who work with the equipment every day.

We believe in being present on the shop floor, listening to the team’s ideas and identifying the root causes of problems to implement lasting solutions. Safety, planning and following through on commitments are part of our approach to work.

We welcome people who contribute ideas, take ownership and help improve both processes and teamwork.

What this position offers

Responsibility for the organisation and performance of the maintenance function, involvement in technical projects and the opportunity to improve equipment and facilities.

Remuneration will reflect your experience and technical expertise.
