Mechanical Technician

Mechanical Technician\n
If you would rather be outdoors and hands-on than stuck behind a desk, this is the role for you.\n
This is a Mechanical Technician role with a growing renewable energy business near Ely, on a four-on, four-off shift pattern.\n
\nAs a Mechanical Technician you will keep the plant and machinery running across a growing renewable energy operation, working on the equipment that turns organic waste into clean energy. It is varied, genuinely hands-on work, service, repair, maintenance, installation, fault-finding and inspection, on a four-on, four-off, 12-hour shift pattern. Be clear on one thing: this is an outdoor role, with up to 90% of your time spent outside across operational plant areas, often at height and in all weathers. If you are a practical, resilient technician who likes different problems every day and takes pride in keeping things running, no two days here will be the same.\n
