Maintenance Engineer

Maintenance Engineer
4 on, 4 off (days and nights)

Why this role exists

This site runs at serious volume. When it runs well, nobody notices. When it doesn't, everyone notices immediately.

That is where you come in.

You will be part of the engineering team that keeps production moving, fixes issues properly, and prevents repeat failures rather than firefighting the same problems every week.

If you like seeing the impact of your work in real time, you will not be bored here.
