Description
Multi-Skilled Engineer
Ipswich
Permanent
Salary: Negotiable from £35,000

• Some on-site work such as installations, commissioning and machine checks
• Inspecting bearings, parts, and supporting machinery testing
• Keeping the workshop tidy and working safely at all times
You don’t need to be an expert in everything, but you should be confident in at least two of these areas and happy to get stuck in where needed.

• Can read and understand technical drawings
• Has experience using hand tools
