Job description

Overview

Shift Engineer – Coventry | 12-hour shifts (4on 4off 2days 2nights)

You fix things before they break. You know your way around an automated line and you\'ve got enough electrical or mechanical know-how to keep production running when others panic.

This isn\'t a desk job – you\'ll be out on the floor, getting hands-on with machines, tools, and a solid team who know their stuff. When something stops working, you\'ll get it going again. Safely. Properly. Without drama.
