  • When trained, ensure job timings are met/exceeded
  • Process the receipt of ordered goods in a timely manner

You’ll learn side-by-side with experienced colleagues who are passionate about sharing their knowledge, giving you hands-on exposure to a wide range of tasks and a real understanding of how the whole business operates. With dedicated mentoring and support, you’ll build confidence, develop in-demand skills, and lay strong foundations for a long-term career in engineering.
