We are seeking a practical, hands-on Engineering Technician to support equipment installation, workshop projects and site improvement initiatives within our growing manufacturing operation.
This is an ideal opportunity for a junior engineer, trade-qualified technician or capable apprentice-level individual who enjoys working with tools, solving problems and taking ownership of real tasks on site.
You’ll play an important role in helping set up new machinery, improve production spaces and support ongoing engineering activities.
About the role
