- Experience with filling, capping, labelling, coding, packaging or conveyor equipment would be particularly relevant
- Exposure to pneumatics, electrical systems, PLC-controlled machinery, preventative maintenance, 5S, SMED, RCA or OEE would also be beneficial, but you don’t necessarily need to tick every box
