As a Test Machine Technician, you’ll be a pivotal member of our production team – ensuring a minimum 95% uptime of our 30+ specialist test machines, and optimising plant productivity. Because prevention is always better than cure, the successful candidate will bring both a ‘well-oiled’ approach to routine maintenance, and the ability to analyse test data to predict future failure modes and identity areas for improvement. Of course, there are times when things will go wrong regardless, and you’ll need to go above and beyond to get our machines back online in the quickest possible timeframe. This will require a cool head, an ability to think outside the box and a solid grasp of hydraulic, pneumatic and electronic control systems. If this is you, and you like what you see below, please get in touch.
What you’ll do:
1. Perform daily “master” performance tests to identify machine performance for production use
2. Update ERP dashboards with machine Go/No Go status
3. Perform regular preventative maintenance and calibration to minimise downtime
4. Plot performance machine data to determine performance and predictive failure mode analysis
5. Perform fault diagnostics on machines to identify root cause of failure – this will cover electrical, hydraulic and mechanical functions
6. Create technical audit documents specifying requirements for overchecking and calibrating various control and measurement channels
7. Create a critical spares package for each machine type, monitor stock levels and usage
8. Ensure machines are correctly saving and transferring production data to Carwood servers
9. Support production with technical queries on the machine’s performance concerns and provide breakdown support
10. Liaise with machine suppliers to expediate response times and bring knowledge “in-house”
11. Embrace company values and culture at all times
What you’ll bring to this role:
1. Minimum of 3 years’ experience maintaining a range of specialist purpose machinery with hydraulic, pneumatic and electronic control systems
2. Ability to read and interpret electrical and hydraulic schematic layout diagrams
3. Experience working with 400v 3ph, 240v 1ph AC and 12v/24v DC electrical circuits
4. Experience in calibrating sensors using specialist hardware i.e. Druck
5. Mechanical “hands-on” experience using generic and specialist tools
6. Ability to read and interpret machine results and plot data into excel
7. Ability to use manual engineering measurement tools and electronic CMM tools is desirable
8. Proven experience to work as part of a team
9. Creative problem-solving abilities, with a focus on continuous improvement and operational efficiency
10. Strong communication and interpersonal skills
11. Proven ability to work both individually, and as part of a team
12. Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, especially Excel, Word and Powerpoint
13. Good working attitude
What’s in it for you:
1. Pension with employer contributions at 5% after 12 months
2. On-the-job training and career development
