About BRITA
Here at BRITA we are at the forefront of sustainability and are passionate about changing the way people drink water. We are continuously striving to increase the efficiency and performance of our products with a primary focus to reduce our environmental impact!
BRITA is a forward-thinking, family-owned global business that cares about our employees, creating career and advancement opportunities within an inclusive and diverse environment.
About You
Do you want to work in a production environment that is being invested in and where the technology is moving forward? Do you want to work with modern, highly automated production machinery? Do you like being part of close-knit, high-performing teams? Do you want to be part of a business where people can really rely on each other, and where you have the opportunity to progress and grow? If any of this sounds good, then we could be a great fit for you.
About the Role
Our production lines run Monday to Friday, 24 hours a day, and our engineering team is at the heart of making that possible. Whether that is through planned preventative maintenance or reactive repair work, the work our technicians do is vital to the high performance levels that we are delivering. Each of our 3 shift teams has a technician working alongside them to keep that shift running smoothly, and this is one of those roles (which is open due to a promotion). On the shift, you will be working with the production team, monitoring performance and assisting the operators where needed, as well as performing planned maintenance tasks.
We are regularly investing in upgrading and improving our machinery, and the engineering team is an integral part of that, working with contractors and colleagues from elsewhere in BRITA to ensure upgrades happen as efficiently as possible. We have a comprehensive shop floor management system that provides detailed data on how all of our machines are running, and you’ll be working with that on a daily basis.
Health & Safety is hugely important to us, and good housekeeping is upheld by providing a safe working environment, ensuring the work area is clean and tidy while participating, embracing, and continuously developing in order to help the business improve in line with the BRITA values.
We operate 3 shifts, and teams rotate through these shifts on a weekly basis (40 hour working week), with a maintenance technician assigned to each shift.
The shifts are Monday to Friday (Night shift is Sunday night to Thursday night):
1. Early: 06.00 – 14.30
2. Late: 14.15 – 22.45
3. Night: 22.30 – 06.15
You will receive a shift allowance as part of your salary package.
To Be Successful in This Role
You’ll be an experienced technician with at least 2 years working in an automated production environment and a familiarity with both mechanical and electrical systems. You’ll have experience in fault-finding and preventative maintenance and be comfortable working with and understanding wiring diagrams. If you have worked with PLCs, that would be great, but it isn’t required. Being a time-served apprentice or having an equivalent engineering qualification would be ideal.
You will need to be motivated, reliable, and methodical, comfortable in seeking out support when required and will be an inclusive team player. We believe wholeheartedly that we succeed as a team, so that team focus is hugely important to us, as is always thinking about ways we can do things better.
