About

We require a practical and physically‑capable candidate with experience using hand tools to provide basic mechanical maintenance tasks around site, for example: changing fans, fitting wheels, repairing trollies, etc. The environment is agricultural in nature and would particularly suit candidates who enjoy or are resilient to typical experiences within a farm setting or livestock management role.

Own transport is required due to location (rural). Full training is provided at induction.

• Enjoy working as part of a team in a busy FMCG department; repairing production equipment, ensuring H&​S compliance, and maintaining a clean, safe environment.
• A flexible and sociable team‑player – reliable, dependable, honest, and trustworthy – willing to contribute where needed to fulfil business aims.
• Willingness to learn processes and procedures.
