The role will involve undertaking both electrical and mechanical maintenance on a wide range of production machinery, with a strong focus on preventative maintenance, continuous improvement and maintaining high standards of Health \& Safety.

You will work collaboratively with colleagues across the business and closely with multiple site operations, supporting engineering and production requirements as needed. Flexibility to work across either site may be required to meet operational and business needs.

Your contribution will be key to maintaining a safe, reliable and efficient manufacturing environment, supporting W.Howard Group's commitment to quality, service and continuous improvement.

13\. Carry out appropriate machinery safety checks and maintain accurate and up\-to\-date maintenance and service records.

14\. Work closely with Production and other departments to minimise disruption, resolve equipment issues and support the smooth and efficient operation of the manufacturing site.

15\. Provide technical guidance and support to production operatives, including training in routine equipment care and basic maintenance requirements.

16\. Liaise with external contractors and specialist service providers where additional technical expertise, repairs or installations are required.

17\. Maintain accurate records of maintenance activities, breakdowns, repair histories, inspections and spare parts usage, ensuring relevant information is readily available.

18\. Support the development, implementation and continuous improvement of planned maintenance schedules, ensuring work is completed within agreed timescales.

19\. Be willing to both provide and undertake training as required, supporting the development of skills and technical knowledge across the wider team.

20\. Demonstrate, communicate and consistently uphold the WHL Core Values in all aspects of your work and interactions with colleagues, contractors and other stakeholders.
