Summary
I started my Electrical Apprenticeship in the dairy industry and now have 10 years of post trade experience working for FMCG companies performing electrical and mechanical reactive and preventive maintenance. This includes attending breakdowns, diagnosing, fault finding and rectifying issues on (but not limited to) tray sealers, thermoformers, slicers, ovens, chillers, labellers, tumblers and conveyors. Having worked a variety of shift patterns has taught me to work efficiently unsupervised and as part of a team.
My goal has always been to keep downtime to a minimum and to establish and keep good working relationships with production, management, suppliers and maintenance people.
