About The Role

As AO’s new Maintenance Technician, you will play a massive part in keeping our plant one of the most efficient and advanced in the UK.

• Carrying out equipment commissioning and testing
• Complete dynamic risk assessments and adopt a ‘clean-as-you-go’ approach to keep our plant super safe
• Keep tabs on any malfunctioning equipment and keep site management in the loop
• Log your daily progress in the Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS)
• Call on your engineering expertise in problem-solving workshops
• Kick off each day with operational review meetings, providing updates on project engineering/optimisation work
