Build specialist machinery. Travel internationally. See projects through to completion.

This growing engineering technology company designs and manufactures complex mechanical systems that are installed across the globe. This is not a static workshop position.

• Genuine opportunity for international travel

• Involvement in projects from build stage to customer handover

• High level of responsibility and ownership

• Ongoing training and development, including MEWP and FLT if required

This suits someone who wants variety, accountability and the chance to work beyond the factory floor.
