  • Carry out repair and modification work to site facilities and equipment, including electrical wiring and service installations.

  • Complete development and maintenance tasks and update the Pirana management system.

  • Maintain a clean and organized work area to support manufacturing operations.

  • Demonstrate self-discipline and awareness of 5S, lean, and HS&E practices.

What we're looking for

  • Ability to work independently and manage own priorities.

  • Strong attention to detail with excellent organisational skills.

  • Effective communication and the ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment.

  • Flexible, adaptable, and eager to learn; a proactive "can-do" attitude is essential.

  • Knowledge and application of 5S, lean principles, and HS&E practices.

Qualifications & Training

  • Experience in basic carpentry, plumbing, and electrical installations.

  • NVQ Level 2/3 in a craft skill, or a craft apprenticeship completed or in progress.

  • Strong practical and problem-solving skills.

  • Competent with Microsoft Office.

  • Familiar with HS&E practices.

Location: Onsite at Biotage, Ystrad Mynach
