  • Conducting detailed visual inspections of plant equipment
  • Analysing data to support proactive and predictive maintenance strategies
  • Maintaining accurate maintenance records and supporting audit requirements

  • Working closely with maintenance, engineering, and production teams to resolve issues quickly
  • Supporting the continuous development of predictive maintenance tools, techniques, and technologies
  • Liaising with suppliers for specialist parts and technical support

  • Vibration analysis
  • Thermography
  • Ultrasonics
  • Strong analytical skills and confidence interpreting technical data
  • Experience working in a high-volume manufacturing or production environment
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset focused on prevention, not reaction
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
  • Familiarity with maintenance systems and quality standards (e.g. IATF) is advantageous

What’s on offer

  • Competitive salary + overtime opportunities
  • Ongoing training and development in advanced diagnostic techniques
  • Opportunity to work with modern equipment in a high-performance plant environment
