  • Experience: Ideally 4+ years maintaining and repairing special-purpose machinery.

  • Background: Heavy industry, FMCG, food, packaging, plastics, distribution, automotive, or foundry experience is ideal.

  • Ex-Forces Welcome: We highly value military experience (RAF, Navy, Army, REME) and will support your transition into manufacturing.
