This role requires strong mechanical aptitude, troubleshooting skills, and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

**Requirements**:

- Tertiary Qualification in fields such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or industrial maintenance.
- Maintenance technicians should have a strong understanding of mechanical systems, electrical systems, and/or other relevant technical systems. Computer and Networking skills would be an advantage. This must include skills such as troubleshooting, repair, and preventive maintenance.

- Adhere to safety protocols and procedures to maintain a safe working environment for yourself and others. Identify potential safety hazards associated with machinery and take appropriate corrective actions to mitigate risks.
- Maintain accurate records of maintenance activities, repairs, and equipment performance. Document machine settings, troubleshooting procedures, and any modifications made to ensure comprehensive maintenance history and facilitate future repairs.
- Provide guidance and training to machine operators on proper use, maintenance, and safety procedures. Support other team members as needed to optimize overall production efficiency.
- Identify opportunities for process improvements to enhance machine reliability, efficiency, and productivity. Participate in discussions and initiatives aimed at implementing best practices and optimizing workflow.
