• Developing your skills through training and sharing your knowledge with the wider team.
• Working with colleagues across engineering and production to improve overall performance.

• Apprentice trained engineer, ideally electrically biased with sound mechanical knowledge and experience.
• Experience of working in a planned/reactive maintenance engineering role, preferably in a manufacturing environment our client is also keen to hear from anybody from the armed forces looking for opportunities.
• Proactive approach, keen to learn and develop and pass on your knowledge and skills to others in the team.
