A significant part of your role will involve implementing and maintaining maintenance strategies and systems, such as CMMS, to ensure operational excellence. You will conduct site audits to verify compliance, lead recruitment and development initiatives for Mobile Plant fitters, and provide expert support for diagnosing complex mechanical issues. In addition, you will ensure all statutory maintenance is completed to the highest standards and oversee warranty claims, repairs, and servicing to maintain cost efficiency.

This position will also see you act as the subject matter expert for equipment across the organisation. You will play a key role in ensuring SHEQ standards are met within your team and continually work to improve processes, including those related to minimising plant downtime and enhancing overall efficiency.
