On offer is a highly competitive salary (up to £42,000) working Monday – Friday (8am until 4pm), and an excellent benefits package including a high rate pension, life insurance, private medical insurance, onsite gym, 33 days holiday etc. This role offers the chance to join a stable and well-established manufacturing operation where electrical maintenance is at the heart of plant reliability.
