Progression opportunities.
Meridian Technical Services, based in Erith, is a busy and growing company specialising in the periodic refurbishing, pressure testing and refilling of industrial fire suppressant cylinders. We are looking for experienced Technicians to join our team.
In this hands on environment, the role incorporates a range of duties including the cleaning and preparation of large cylinders for pressure testing before moving to our in house paint shop for finishing. Each cylinder's valve is removed and requires complex maintenance before being refitted to a cylinder ready for filling with specialist fire suppression (inert) gasses or clean agents.
Cylinders processed through the factory are typically at least 5ft tall with various circumferences and the lightest weighing around 20kg. Our Technicians are required to safely move cylinders in between work stations using safe handling techniques and manual handling aids. Technicians will also help load and unload cylinders onto stillages and vehicles.
Essential skills:
* Hands on experience using basic tools and machinery, preferably in a workplace setting but we will also consider experience gained through hobbies and interests.

* Good communication skills.
