1. Actively participate in the on-the-job training program
2. Build production vehicles as per given job cards
3. Prepare or repair rental vehicles, as per given job cards
4. Meet production build target hours
5. Ensure compliance with the company Health and Safety Policy
6. Keep the factory and surrounding areas smart, clean, and safe
7. Adhere to and participate in the company 5S program
8. Help achieve ongoing improvements in build times and quality performance

Skills:

• At least 2 years of mechanical engineering experience in automotive, power, aviation, or manufacturing environments
• Experience in electrical fault finding, repair, and general maintenance of machinery
• Welding experience is an advantage but not essential
• Clear communication on technical issues
• Ability to prioritize tasks in a changing customer-driven environment
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Clean driving license

The role suits a positive ‘can-do’ attitude, supported by an active ‘roll the sleeves up’ approach. If you demonstrate the skills outlined above, please apply. You will receive a competitive salary, along with a discretionary company profit share. Interviews are taking place immediately.
