Mentoring and supporting junior technicians on shift
*
Assisting with equipment installs, moves, and site-based engineering projects
*
Managing consumables, spares, and supporting safe handling of materials
*
Liaising with external suppliers and technical specialists
*
Ensuring strict adherence to health, safety, and environmental standards
What we're looking for:
*
Strong electrical engineering background (including low and high voltage)
*
Experience with fault finding on complex equipment in a manufacturing or process environment
*
Understanding of PLCs and pneumatic systems
*
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics
*
Comfortable working with hazardous materials in a controlled environment

Previous experience in high-tech manufacturing, process, or regulated industries
This is a role for engineers who enjoy being technically challenged, solving problems under pressure, and working with advanced equipment that pushes your skillset.
