You'll suit Steamtech if you're someone who takes pride in mechanical work, enjoys solving problems, likes varied industrial environments and wants responsibility rather than needing to be closely supervised.
n
We're particularly interested in someone looking for a long-term position who wants to become an important part of a small specialist technical team.

If you're an experienced industrial Mechanical Fitter looking for something more varied than maintaining the same production equipment every day, we'd like to hear from you.
