• Ensure all project activities are carried out to the highest standards of safety, quality, and compliance.

About You

• NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) qualified in Mechanical, Electrical, or Dual disciplines.
• Previous experience working within a manufacturing or factory environment (food manufacturing experience desirable but not essential).
