2–3+ years’ experience in a Field Service or Technical Engineer role
*
Strong mechanical and electrical skills, including wiring, fault-finding, and PLC basics ideally
*
Hands-on experience with packaging or labelling machinery (or similar)

A proactive approach to problem-solving — and the confidence to work solo or in a team
*
A full UK driving licence
*
Engineering qualification (HNC/HND or equivalent) preferred
*
Welding or fabrication experience? Even better!

Competitive salary up to £45,000 (DOE) + benefits + expenses
