- FMCG Experience: Proven track record troubleshooting automated packing machinery in food, beverage, or FMCG manufacturing environments.
- Technical Skills: Safe isolation discipline, ability to read mechanical/electrical schematics, and hands-on familiarity with pneumatics, drives, conveyors, and sensors.
- Compliance Mindset: Strong working knowledge of HACCP, CCP monitoring, and foreign-object control protocols.
- Attitude & Flexibility: A proactive, "sleeves-up" approach to machine care, with the flexibility to work shifts and weekends as part of a 7-day operational roster (with notice).
