• Prepare accurate service reports and maintain records of work completed.
• Order and manage spare parts as needed for repairs and installations.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance equipment reliability and performance.

• Strong fault-finding skills across mechanical and electrical systems.
• Ability to work under pressure and adapt to changing priorities.
• Excellent communication and customer service skills.
• A proactive approach with great attention to detail.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel nationwide (occasional overnight stays required).

• NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in engineering (or relevant experience).
