  • To support continuous improvement by learning from breakdowns and sending feedback and suggestions for improvements through the line manager.
  • To provide prominent levels of equipment availability to our internal customers.
  • To support the management of contractors.

Qualifications

  • Multi skilled in both electrical and mechanical disciplines.
  • Experience of planned preventative maintenance systems.
  • Experience fault finding within MHE (Material Handling Equipment)/Automation systems.
  • Experience in interpreting both mechanical and electrical drawings.

  • Annual Leave (including Bank holidays), with an increase after 2 years continuous service.
  • An extra day's holiday when it is your birthday.
  • Stakeholder pension plan
  • Personal Health Insurance scheme (if in Pension Scheme)
  • Life assurance
  • 20% Pets at Home discount scheme after 12 weeks service
