Position overview:

The purpose of the position is to service tooling and ancillary equipment to ensure the smooth and continuous running of the manufacturing area. Although the workshop personnel may be asked to assist on the production line, their normal duties are carried out under the instruction of the Maintenance Supervisor with the main aim of servicing the requirements of the manufacturing process and therefore assisting the Plant in meeting budget requirements.

Key responsibilities include:

Maintaining Plant services in safe working condition, i.e. compressors, boilers, and water towers.

The re-refurbishment, preparation and repair of plant spares & equipment i.e. coater rollers, pumps, gearboxes, conveyors, pinchains, shafts etc.

Assisting with Plant breakdowns, i.e. pin chains, oven shafts, strappers etc.

Assisting with line conversions, i.e. palletiser conversion and size conversions.

Engineering project work within the Plant.

Have a comprehensive knowledge of the Environmental Policy and EMS.

Ensure operational control procedures, regulations, or codes of practice are observed within the Plant and that all registers, records and reports are properly prepared and maintained.

There will be a requirement to support and work during maintenance and conversion days, holiday shutdowns, etc.

As this role will involve setting up the brand new production lines, a high level of flexibility is required; the role will be both based in the workshop environment and on the shop floor, supporting reactive maintenance.
