Engineering Assistant
Summary
This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a practical mindset who enjoys working with their hands, solving problems and learning new skills.
You do not need extensive engineering experience. We are far more interested in finding someone who is reliable, takes pride in their work, turns up on time and is eager to learn.
Working alongside highly experienced engineers, you will assist with routine maintenance, equipment setup, factory improvements and general engineering support tasks.
