  8. Escalation of Issues: Promptly escalate any major equipment issues or safety concerns to the Shift Engineering Team Leader or relevant management, following the correct procedures to ensure swift and effective resolution.
  9. Compliance & Safety: Uphold all health, safety, and environmental standards in line with company policies. Ensure all work is carried out to the highest standard and that any risks are immediately addressed.
Requirements:
  • A minimum of 2-3 years' experience within a similar role.

  • Hands-on experience with automation, robotics, and other advanced technologies commonly used in manufacturing.
Technical Skills:
  • Proficiency in mechanical systems including hydraulics, pneumatics, and machine alignment.
  • Electrical experience, including wiring, circuits, and troubleshooting control systems.
  • Competency in working with PLCs, variable speed drives, and other control systems.
  • Familiarity with tools and diagnostic equipment for electrical and mechanical repairs.
Key Competencies & Personal Attributes:
  • Problem-Solving: You have a methodical approach to troubleshooting and are able to work under pressure to quickly identify and fix faults, ensuring production continues smoothly.
  • Team Player: Strong ability to collaborate with colleagues across departments, providing engineering support where necessary and ensuring smooth handovers between shifts.
  • Communication Skills: Clear and effective communication skills, both written and verbal, to ensure accurate reporting and handovers, as well as the ability to explain technical issues to non-technical team members.
  • Self-Motivated: Able to take initiative, work autonomously, and drive tasks to completion with minimal supervision, especially during night shifts.
  • Adaptability: Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities can shift, and the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
  • Attention to Detail: Precision in both planned maintenance tasks and when resolving breakdowns, ensuring that no small detail is overlooked that could lead to bigger issues later on.
