About the Role
Not every maintenance engineering role offers a genuine route into management. This one does. This opportunity has been created to support an experienced Maintenance Manager as part of a long-term succession plan. Over the coming years, you'll work closely alongside him, developing the technical and leadership skills needed to progress into the role yourself.
If you've reached the point where you're looking for more responsibility, greater influence, and a genuine career pathway, this could be exactly the opportunity you've been waiting for.
Key Responsibilities
- Working within a specialist manufacturing environment, you'll support the maintenance, reliability, and continuous improvement of around 30 key production assets, including:
- Hand presses
- Hydraulic and air servo presses
- Rolling machines
- Crimping presses
- Dispensers
