  • Minimum 5 years' experience in a fast-paced FMCG manufacturing environment.
  • Strong mechanical fault-finding and troubleshooting skills.
  • A proactive, safety-conscious approach and the ability to work well in a team.
  • Basic PLC experience is advantageous (Siemens / Rockwell)

What you'll get in return
