This is a practical on-the-ground role, based on site Monday to Friday.
What You'll Be Doing
* Preventative Maintenance & Site Reliability: Own and drive the preventative maintenance program across the warehouse, plant, and equipment.

Minimise operational disruption by proactively planning and scheduling maintenance works.
