As one of the UK’s largest independent manufacturers supplying to the commercial sector my client manufactures fine chemicals and rubber accelerators and has a history spanning over 150 years. With their headquarters in West Bromwich, they are true pioneers within the chemicals industry.  

Due to the retirement of a long-standing member of the maintenance department, an opportunity has arisen for a Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor to join their team in West Bromwich and support within a lower tier COMAH facility.

• Mentoring and training staff. 
• Interpreting equipment drawings, manuals and other technical information, to assist with works.  
• Working in accordance with the company’s safe systems of work and permit to work systems.  

My client is keen to hear from people who possess a Level 3 in a practical mechanical fitting or engineering discipline and who have a minimum of three years supervisory experience, in addition. Regardless of previous expertise, you will be a team player, by nature, and be able to communicate effectively with various departments of the business.
