Diagnose and repair mechanical faults safely and efficiently, minimising downtime.
Support electrical and instrumentation maintenance tasks within competency (e.g., basic fault finding, isolations under supervision, low complexity repairs).
Ensure all work is completed in compliance with site safety procedures, permit-to-work systems, and relevant UK legislation.

Work collaboratively with operations, engineering, contractors, and technical teams.
Provide technical mentoring to apprentices and less experienced technicians.
Attend toolbox talks, shift handovers, and team meetings as required.

Experience working with process equipment such as:
Batch reactors
Heat exchangers
Storage tanks
Filtration & transfer systems
Boilers
Bio plant or effluent treatment systems (if applicable).
