• Use data and asset management systems to monitor performance and drive improvements.
• Deliver cost-effective, safe maintenance while collaborating with regional teams.
• Develop your team through training, coaching, and preparing for future apprenticeships.
• Promote a proactive, safety-first culture across all maintenance operations.

• Previous experience in a maintenance or engineering lead role
• Able to plan and deliver both reactive fixes and preventative strategies.
• Comfortable managing teams and supporting them on the ground when needed.
• Organised and analytical, with a good grasp of maintenance systems and KPIs.
