  • Electrical fault-finding on PLC-controlled systems
  • Working with motors, VSDs, sensors, and control circuits
  • Minimising downtime and improving equipment reliability
  • Supporting continuous improvement initiatives
  • Maintaining documentation and adhering to safety standards

What you'll get in return

  • A Grade Electrical Licence
  • Ideally, 3+ years' experience within FMCG manufacturing (Food, Meat, Poultry, Dairy, Beverage, Packaging or Pharmaceutical)
  • Strong electrical fault-finding and troubleshooting skills
  • Experience with automated production equipment and PLC systems
  • Proactive approach with a strong focus on safety and reliability
