On a day-to-day basis you will be reacting to mechanical and electrical MHE breakdowns, analysing faults and identifying solutions, proactively improving machine reliability, supporting on project work to optimise efficiency, sharing your knowledge and experience with the wider team, and taking personal responsibility for your own health and safety whilst at work.
