Qualified in maintenance, mechanical or electrical engineering (PLC knowledge a bonus).
Ideally experienced in food, drink, or FMCG manufacturing.
Comfortable managing projects and maintenance budgets.
A confident, approachable leader who enjoys developing and supporting a small team.
Someone practical, reliable, and keen to make a difference day to day.
Experience with HACCP, GMP, or BRC standards would be great, but they can support training for the right person.
