my client welcome applicants from craft, mechanical or electrical backgrounds, as well as those who are already multi-skilled. Whether your experience comes from manufacturing, the armed forces, or another sector, they value your expertise and transferable skills.


The role:

· Diagnose faults and test, repair and maintain a range of mechanical and electrical manufacturing equipment.
· Proactively identify early signs of failure, log findings accurately and maintain strong data quality within the CMMS.
· Liaise with OEMs and external suppliers for technical support; support parts identification and expedite spares when required.
