• Work in full compliance with health and safety rules, including correct use of tools, machinery, and chemicals, along with regular site checks.
• Handle waste and recycling tasks, including bin emptying and operation of the baler.
• Carry out weekly inspections of plant and machinery and record maintenance information to help identify equipment failures.
• Work with Engineering and Production teams on improvement initiatives and observe equipment performance to suggest process enhancements.
• Take part in preventative maintenance activities.
• Support safe handling and storage practices to prevent damage to moulds and other tooling or plant equipment.
• Assist with mould changeovers in the Roto and Pipe departments when needed.

Desired background and skills

Applicants should have prior exposure to maintenance, plumbing, electrical work, or joinery. Experience in an industrial setting is an advantage. The company is looking for someone who can work alone when needed or collaborate effectively within a team, who is practical, adaptable, and able to work in a proactive and efficient way. Strong attention to detail, solid organisational ability, and clear communication in written and spoken English are important. Flexibility to work shifts, evenings, or weekends may be required. A Leaving Certificate is the minimum educational requirement, and First Aid or Manual Handling training would be beneficial.
