The reality of the role This is a busy, high-demand production environment where engineering coverage is critical.
Engineers are expected to respond quickly to issues, stabilise equipment and maintain production continuity. It suits individuals who are comfortable working in a fast-moving shift-based environment where priorities can change quickly. If you prefer slow-paced or predictable maintenance work, this is unlikely to be a fit. If you want a role where your skills are genuinely needed and used every shift, it is
