Maintenance Technician

In this role, you and your fellow technicians are responsible for keeping a large, fully automated distribution centre running smoothly. You will work among conveyor systems, roller conveyors, lifts and other automated installations that continuously move goods throughout the warehouse. Your main focus will be on preventive and scheduled maintenance, helping to ensure that the logistics process can continue without disruption.

Around 75% of the work is mechanical. You will inspect moving parts, check for wear and tear, carry out maintenance and replace or repair components before issues arise. You will also work with electrical systems, pneumatics and hydraulics. If you notice a technical deviation, you will investigate the cause and resolve the issue directly wherever possible.

Using monitoring and reporting applications, you will keep track of the condition of the system and accurately record the work you have carried out. In the event of larger or unexpected breakdowns, you will work together with the Corrective Maintenance Team. This means you will not only be carrying out hands-on maintenance, but also helping to keep an impressive automated system in excellent technical condition during every shift.
