• Willing to work shifts
• Flexible to travel as required
• Prior experience in chemical plants.
• Good mechanical competence with small hand-tools
• Be occasionally flexible over work hours as plants do not always respect core work hours.
• Additional skills such as electrics, electronics, PLC programming, mechanical engineering, plumbing, laboratory skills would be advantageous.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity package
• 35 days holiday (inc. Bank Holidays) plus your birthday off.
