Job description

Maintenance Technician - GMP Manufacturing - Longford - Permanent, 12-hour shifts

We're hiring on behalf of a leading multinational medical devices and diagnostics manufacturer with a large, long-established site in Co. Longford.

The role:

You’ll join the maintenance team on a 12-hour shift pattern, keeping automated production and packaging equipment running in a GMP environment. On your shift you will often be the technician the line relies on, so this suits someone who can fault-find on their own and document it properly afterwards.

What you'll actually be doing:

• Preventative and corrective maintenance across mechanical, electrical and pneumatic systems
• Fault-finding from schematics on automated lines - PLCs, control systems, robots and vision systems
• Supporting printers and coding systems, packaging and production equipment
• Looking after utilities - water systems, pumps, boilers and HVAC
• Logging work in the CMMS and closing out the defect-to-work-order loop
• Completing GMP documentation accurately and supporting audits
• Running the shift on your own when needed, and passing on what you know to newer technicians

What we need:

• Trade or degree qualified - apprenticeship, NFQ Level 6/7 or an engineering degree
• 3+ years' maintenance experience in manufacturing, ideally GMP or regulated
• Mechanical, electrical and pneumatic fault-finding
• PLC and control systems experience
• Comfortable working 12-hour days and nights and running a shift independently

Nice to have:

• Robotics (6-axis or cobots) and vision systems
• Inkjet or laser coders
• Packaging equipment - thermoformers, tray sealers, moulding machines
• Utilities - purified water, RO/DI, boilers, HVAC

The reality of the role: This is shift work - a 4-on, 4-off pattern of two 12-hour days followed by two 12-hour nights, then four days off. Nights are part of every cycle, so be honest with yourself about that. In return you get a 33% shift allowance on top of base, a lot of time off, and some of the most advanced manufacturing equipment in the country to work on.

Ardagh, Co. Longford - on-site. Permanent. Excellent salary plus 33% shift allowance.

You must be based in Ireland with valid working rights in Ireland to be considered.
