Manufacturing Maintenance Engineer

This isn’t a typical maintenance role. You’ll be working across a live manufacturing environment, keeping equipment running day to day, while also getting involved in process improvement and new equipment development. There’s a key focus on a major product area (IOL, intraocular lenses), so you’ll be close to process development work as well as supporting production. It’s a good mix of hands-on engineering and problem solving.
