KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• As the Maintenance Technician, you will diagnose faults, repair and maintain process and facilities equipment to support production output. You will apply pneumatic fault‑finding techniques, use programmable logic controller diagnostics and investigate underlying causes through structured root cause analysis, including the site’s established methodology. You will operate and maintain equipment safely, taking ownership of issues and escalating serious downtime promptly through clear communication, including email.
• As the Maintenance Technician, you will deliver preventative maintenance activities, completing and closing routines on time. You will operate the maintenance management system, retrieve equipment histories and enter accurate maintenance data. All work in good manufacturing practice areas must be managed and recorded through the appropriate permits and systems, including Infor where applicable, with documentation completed accurately and promptly.
• As the Maintenance Technician, you will carry out work in accordance with current good manufacturing practice, standard operating procedures, quality guidelines and health and safety legislation. You will follow protective clothing and personal protective equipment requirements, report hazards and maintain workshop and facilities housekeeping. Careful attention to detail, reliable attendance and timekeeping will support safe, consistent delivery.
• As the Maintenance Technician, you will work closely with quality engineering, materials, manufacturing and maintenance colleagues, alongside quality assurance, quality control and technical services. You will contribute to team meetings, shared targets and continuous improvement, providing support across facilities and manufacturing maintenance. You may also train colleagues in equipment operation, maintenance, set‑up and safety, and deputise for the Maintenance Team Leader when required.

ROLE REQUIREMENTS:

• Junior and Senior Trade Certificates, or an equivalent third‑level qualification, supported by extensive maintenance experience within a multi‑skilled team and proven experience as a Maintenance Technician in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• A working knowledge and practical experience of utilities or maintenance systems, pneumatic equipment, programmable logic controller diagnostics and preventative maintenance systems, including accessing histories and closing routines. You will also bring sound knowledge of current good manufacturing practice, structured problem‑solving and safe working requirements.
• A collaborative, accountable approach, with the initiative to work under minimal supervision and the flexibility to adapt to changing priorities.
