We’re looking for someone who:

• Has proven engineering leadership and people‑management experience.

• Knows their way around PPM, CMMS, KPIs and continuous improvement.

• Can plan for the unexpected, make decisions under pressure and inspire others to deliver their best.

• Monday to Friday 42.5 hours

• Access to GroceryAid, providing emotional, practical and financial support
