As a Maintenance Engineer, you are responsible for carrying out preventive maintenance on Voortman machines at customer locations throughout the United Kingdom. Your main goal is to keep equipment operating reliably and efficiently, helping customers minimize downtime and maximize performance. You will travel regularly to customer sites, working independently to perform inspections, maintenance activities, and technical improvements.
