Facilities Technician
We are looking for a skilled Facilities Technician to support our Facilities and Engineering team at our Ystrad Mynach site.
Reporting to the Facilities Manager, you will play a key role in maintaining our site and supporting lean and continuous improvement initiatives across the company. This is a hands-on role in a small facilities team, so the ability to work independently and take ownership of tasks is essential.

- Perform general building and site maintenance work.
- Support engineering activities, including services and LEV installations.
- Assist and coordinate with contractors to ensure successful project completion.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance efficiency and productivity.
- Compile and maintain relevant documentation: risk assessments, work instructions, drawings, sketches, calculations, and records.
- Carry out repair and modification work to site facilities and equipment, including electrical wiring and service installations.
- Complete development and maintenance tasks and update the Pirana management system.
- Maintain a clean and organized work area to support manufacturing operations.
- Demonstrate self-discipline and awareness of 5S, lean, and HS&E practices.
