What's on offer:

• A stable, well-respected business with decades of success behind it
• A proper mix of leadership and hands-on work
• Plenty of variety with interesting products and projects
• A chance to make your mark and help shape the team

What you'll bring:

• Previous leadership, supervisory, or leading hand experience
• A trade qualification in mechanical fitting, fabrication, engineering, electrical, or similar would be ideal
