Job Description

This is a hands-on technical role for someone who can do more than routine electrical maintenance — strong practical experience in industrial automation and PLC troubleshooting is a key requirement.

Key Focus Areas

Electrical maintenance and breakdown troubleshooting across plant equipment

PLC, automation and control-system fault-finding

Maintenance of motors, drives, sensors, panels and production equipment

Preventive and predictive maintenance to improve equipment reliability

Supporting equipment installations, upgrades and commissioning

Minimising downtime and improving plant efficiency

Maintaining compliance with safety, GMP and food manufacturing standards

What We're Looking For

Diploma or Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics or a related field

Minimum 5 years electrical maintenance experience in a beverage or manufacturing environment

Strong hands-on experience with PLCs and industrial automation

Ability to troubleshoot electrical and control-system faults independently

Experience working with automated production or packaging equipment

Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams

Familiarity with SCADA, CMMS or manufacturing systems is an advantage

If you're an electrical technician who is particularly strong in automation, controls and PLC troubleshooting, and you enjoy solving problems on the plant floor, this could be a good opportunity to explore.
