Role Overview
This role is a mix of having hands-on responsibility in providing support to the shift teams coupled with improving reliability and long term asset care on site. In the absence of the Manager, you will have direct responsibility for a team of technicians. Please note that this role works on a Mon-Fri basis with shifts rotating between earlies and lates (6am-2pm and 2pm-10pm) - for example, 2 weeks of earlies, then 2 weeks of lates.
This would be a fantastic opportunity for either an experienced Supervisor/Team Leader who has had good exposure to reliability and leading a small team, or an existing Multi Skilled Engineer/Reliability Engineer who is looking for their first formal step into a supervisory/leadership role.
