You will ideally have:
* Experience fault finding on three-phase electrical systems
* Strong problem-solving ability within a fast-paced manufacturing environment
* A proactive attitude towards maintenance and reliability
Electrical qualifications such as NVQ Level 3 / City & Guilds / HNC or equivalent would be advantageous.
What’s On Offer
