Fault-find electrical and electromechanical equipment, investigate root causes, and deliver practical resolutions.
Maintain up-to-date knowledge of product specifications, production processes, and relevant engineering technologies.
Support preparation of budgets and monitor relevant expenditure.
Provide technical support to customers when required, including occasional travel to resolve production or product issues.
Support training and knowledge transfer for production staff.
Follow company policies, procedures, quality requirements, and health and safety standards.
Maintain a clean, safe, and orderly workshop and office environment.
