Your responsibilities will include:
Hands-on mechanical maintenance and repairs
Supervising and supporting a small team of Maintenance Fitters (2-3)

We're equally interested in experienced Senior Fitters or Leading Hands who have strong technical knowledge, communicate well and are ready to take the next step into a leadership position.
You'll still be hands‐on, so we're looking for someone who can lead from the front rather than supervise from behind a desk.
