  • Ensure all engineering activities are carried out safely and in line with company procedures.
  • Support and develop engineering team capability and skill progression.
  • Maintain accurate maintenance records using the CMMS system.

  • Previous experience supervising engineering teams within an industrial, manufacturing or processing environment.
  • Strong fault finding and problem solving ability.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
