The successful candidate will demonstrate a methodical approach, good attention to detail and a commitment to continuous improvement.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced engineer to develop their technical expertise within a varied shift environment. In return, you can expect structured support, opportunities for professional development and a role where your contribution directly supports safe and effective day-to-day operations.
