The successful candidate will be comfortable working in fast-paced client environments, including FMCG, food production, pharmaceutical, packaging, construction, manufacturing, and wider industrial settings.

- Support mechanical activities across industrial and blue-chip client sites
- Provide practical mechanical engineering solutions from design through to installation
- Maintain, repair and modify manufacturing equipment, production machinery, and mechanical systems
- Repair and overhaul mechanical items including motors, pumps, valves, bearings, shafts, and rotating equipment
- Carry out fitting, fabrication, bench work, assembly, and mechanical modification tasks
- Assemble and fit mechanical components and systems in line with technical drawings
- Carry out mechanical snagging and improvement works within manufacturing and production line environments
- Work with site utilities including compressed air, steam, and water systems, within agreed limits of design and competence
- Operate or support the use of fabrication and workshop equipment, including cutting, welding, drilling, and machining tools
- Use, or be trained to use, plant and access equipment such as FLTs, MEWPs, scissor lifts, and other site equipment
- Support Project Managers, client teams, and site personnel during project delivery
- Ensure all work is carried out safely and in line with client site rules, company procedures, industry regulations, and quality standards
- Communicate professionally with clients, Project Managers, and other site personnel
