• Examine machinery, components, and work orders; liaise with equipment operators to diagnose problems and determine whether faults are mechanical or human in origin.
• Analyse all available technical information to identify root causes and recommend or implement appropriate corrective actions.
• Work both independently and collaboratively as part of a wider engineering team, effectively coordinating workloads and priorities.
• Provide technical guidance to management and factory engineers on equipment defects, customer satisfaction issues, product performance, and product improvement suggestions.
