The Opportunity

An Amazing Opportunity for either an electrically biased or mechanically biased Maintenance Engineer to become part of a multi-million pound Recycling business, they have recently invested over £30,000,000 across the company in the next 12 months. As part of this plan they are looking to build a brand new team at their Wolverhampton plant. The role will be working on multi-million pound machinery, some old and some brand new.
