Working within our busy workshop environment, you'll ensure equipment is presented to the highest standards of reliability, safety, and performance before reaching our customers.

• Ability to read and interpret technical documentation and wiring diagrams.
• Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
• High attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship.
