About Profile
An apprentice-trained Maintenance Engineer with nearly 7 years’ experience working within high-volume FMCG manufacturing environments.
This engineer is currently responsible for maintaining primary and end-of-line packaging machinery for a large FMCG manufacturer, giving him strong exposure to fast-paced production environments where reliability, response times and engineering standards are critical.
Prior to this, he worked in a manufacturing environment supporting the maintenance of process plant and equipment, including pumps, fillers, tanks, heat exchangers and valves. This gives him a useful combination of both packaging machinery and process plant experience.
Technical Experience
- Planned and reactive maintenance across high-volume FMCG manufacturing environments
- Breakdown support and fault finding on production machinery
- Maintenance of primary and end-of-line packaging equipment
- Experience with process plant and equipment including pumps, fillers, tanks, heat exchangers and valves
- Mechanical fault finding, strip-down, repair and replacement of components
- Electrical fault finding on motors, panels and associated equipment
- Supporting continuous improvement activity to improve reliability and uptime
- Working within engineering standards, safety procedures and hygiene-focused environments
Machinery & Equipment Background
This candidate has gained hands-on maintenance experience across both packaging machinery and process-related equipment.
