Key skills for this role
In this role, you’ll be responsible for both planned and reactive maintenance across a wide range of production equipment, applying your electrical and mechanical skills to keep lines running efficiently. Your day-to-day work will involve ensuring compliance with Food Safety, Health & Safety, and quality systems, as well as diagnosing faults, performing repairs, and identifying root causes. You’ll record all activity, duration, and materials in the CMMS system (Mainsaver) and manage engineering supplies to support ongoing maintenance needs.
You will also identify and recommend improvements to machinery, production lines, and operational processes, while supporting projects, continuous improvement activity, and productivity initiatives. Clear communication is key, as you’ll report unscheduled downtime and corrective actions to the Engineering Shift Lead. Maintaining high standards of housekeeping in line with GMP and supporting or coaching operators to develop basic asset care skills in their areas will also form part of your responsibilities.
This is a hands-on role where your mechanical and electrical expertise, problem-solving skills, and proactive approach will make a real impact on plant reliability and efficiency.
