• Updating the maintenance management system accurately after completed work
• Carrying out routine checks and condition monitoring such as vibration analysis, weld parameter checks, fluid levels and vacuum inspections
• Working safely at all times, following established procedures and contributing to a strong safety culture
• Managing local spare parts to ensure availability and cost‑effective stock levels
• Using structured problem‑solving techniques to resolve equipment issues and prevent recurrence
• Supporting simple PLC modifications, tooling improvements or mechanical design solutions

What's on offer:

• Competitive base salary
• 26 days’ annual leave, with the option to buy up to 10 additional days or sell up to 5
• Up to 10% employer‑matched pension contribution
