If you are tired of giving up your weekends to heavy engineering shifts and want your Mondays back completely, then this roster is about to change your life.
The Role and About You
Imagine a mechanical fitting role where your weekend starts the moment you clock off, and you do not have to think about returning to work until Tuesday morning.
You will step into a highly optimised shift pattern that completely protects your personal time. No weekend work!
Your day-to-day work will focus on the maintenance, inspection, and fault-finding of freight wagons. You will utilise your heavy mechanical skills to handle component replacements, brake testing, and structural repairs. If you come from a background in heavy plant, rolling stock, agricultural machinery, or heavy vehicle mechanics, your technical expertise will be highly valued here.
We also have Team Co-ordinating vacancies for candidates with experience of planning, organisation of teams, debriefing senior managers or stakeholders or external experience in coaching or similar who enjoy taking ownership and additional responsibility.
