Job Description:
You will lead and mentor a team of expert technicians dedicated to equipment reliability.

A Day in the Life:
You'll be based at one of our operational sites which allows you to give practical guidance to your team and get a clear vision of what's happening at your site. This involves collecting data and solving problems in a fast-paced environment.
