GA 219

This is a rare opportunity. My client, an industry leading FMCG manufacturing firm that ship their product worldwide, are looking for an experienced Electro-Mechanical Engineer for their Hadleigh operation. The current post holder is integral to the business, there is nothing he does not know about all the machinery and every square foot of the site. After 38 years of service, and only a couple years from semi-retirement, you have big shoes to fill, but you will have an awesome handover!

Whilst we are not expecting you to sign up for the next 38 years, the successful candidate will need to be looking to settle somewhere. If you are looking to move every 2 years or have a history of moving jobs frequently then this one is not for you. However, if you are looking to learn, add value, implement ideas, take ownership, accountability and commit to offering the best electro-mechanical support to a company enjoying record year on year growth then this could be for you!

Responsibilities will be vast and varied, 50:50 split between electrical and mechanical repair and maintenance. Think hydraulics, pneumatics, welding & fabricating, workshop skills, repairing parts over simply swapping out (but knowing when repairing is futile) being able to quickly react to changing priorities, PLC work would be a bonus.

What should excite you:

• Minimising downtime to ensure production demands are met
• Working towards a pre-emptive over reactive culture
• Devising and implementing new systems to increase efficiencies
• Growth is continual here - within 2 years there will be a new building and 2 new lines going in
• The opportunity for career stability - this industry has proved 'recession resilient’

The successful candidate will be:

• Broad electrical and mechanical skill set preferably from an 24/5 production environment
• 17th Edition Certified
• Committed, flexible, dependable and resilient
• Ready to get stuck in, keen to make the role yours, but ready to have a long period of learning

This company have 3 sites, 90% of your time will be spent in Hadleigh, 10% in Sudbury, so a driving license is essential.

For the right person this opportunity will be fantastic. Great rewards, career growth, job stability and a super team to work with. If this advert has left you wanting to learn more call Greg Alton at Onit Recruitment for a chat or simply hit the 'apply now’ button.
