• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and technical drawings
• Assist with fault-finding and resolving electrical and production issues
• Support the training and development of team members
• Identify opportunities to improve workflow, processes and efficiency within the electrical department

Requirements

• Hands-on and practical approach, with a willingness to work alongside the team
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to take ownership of production issues
