What We Need From You:

We are looking for a capable, motivated mechanical engineer who wants to learn and progress. To be successful, you will need:

  • Qualifications: Level 3 technical qualification (NVQ, City & Guilds) or a completed Apprenticeship in a mechanical engineering discipline.

  • Core Skills: Strong mechanical competence with hydraulics, pneumatics, bearings, belts, chains, and fabrication.

  • 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.
