  • Promote and enforce health, safety, and compliance standards
  • Support training, development, and engagement of engineering staff
  • Control engineering stores, spares, and stock levels
  • Deliver continuous improvement and reliability-focused initiatives
  • Plan and support major maintenance and overhaul activities

Requirements:

  • Operational Focus: Ability to align engineering activity with business and production needs
  • People Leadership: Strong communication and leadership skills to manage teams effectively
  • Flexibility: Willing and able to step into senior cover roles when required
  • Performance Oversight: Experience managing shift delivery and engineering KPIs
