- Accelerate Your Career Growth: Join a business that has poured over £150M into its South Wales operations, continuously investing in state-of-the-art facilities and top talent. As part of a dedicated team of 40+ maintenance professionals, your ideas for improvement and innovation won't just be heard - they'll be implemented.

About the Mechanical Engineer Role:
As the Mechanical Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in pushing mechanical engineering standards within a lean, Total Quality Management (TQM) environment. You won't be content with just maintaining current processes; you'll be tasked with driving significant improvements in performance and reliability across the site. Your key focus areas will include:
- Data-Driven Decision Making: Harness engineering data and analytics to predict and prevent potential downtime, ensuring smooth operations and maximising efficiency.

- Advanced Problem-Solving: Tackle complex hydraulic and pneumatic challenges, allowing you to stretch your technical capabilities and deliver innovative solutions.
- Design & Implementation: Spearhead the design and installation of new mechanical equipment that will enhance production efficiency and contribute to the overall improvement of the site.
What You'll Need to Succeed:
- Qualifications: Ideally, a degree in mechanical engineering, though HNC/HND qualifications with significant experience will also be considered.
- Experience: Proven track record in mechanical maintenance within heavy industrial settings.
- Technical Expertise: Strong knowledge of hydraulics and pneumatics, with a knack for solving complex engineering challenges.
The Package:
- Salary: A base salary of up to £48,500; after probation, there will also be a £2,500 call-out allowance.
- Benefits: A bonus of up to 10%, 5% company pension contribution, cash healthcare plan, 25 + 8 holidays, and life insurance.
