Job Description

The sugar mill in Montague Gardens needs an artisan who can fix a breakdown fast and machine a part when needed. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a sugar mill in Montague Gardens. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What your day looks like

  • Align shafts with a laser alignment tool after every drive change
  • Record work and spares used on the job card or CMMS
  • Follow the lockout procedure before any work on machinery
  • Help with electrical fault-finding on motors and sensors as a millwright
  • Replace bearings, seals and couplings on pumps, gearboxes and motors

What you need

  • At least 2 years as a qualified artisan in a factory or workshop
  • Willing to work shifts, standby and weekend shutdowns
  • Trade test as Fitter and Turner, Fitter, Millwright or Toolmaker
  • N2 or N3 engineering subjects
  • You read engineering drawings and measure with micrometers and verniers

Helpful, not essential

  • CNC programming experience
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic courses
  • Food safety awareness for food and drink plants

On offer

  • Chance to study further toward a technician diploma
  • Shift and standby allowances
  • Paid overtime on shutdowns
  • Tool allowance

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: trade test certificate plus N-certificates plus certified copy of your identity document or smart card.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Montague Gardens.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Write your trade and trade test year first, then the machines you know, like "Filling lines, pumps, gearboxes".
  • If you can machine parts as well as fit them, say so clearly. Many factories want both skills in one person.
