• 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (17th or 16th considered)
• Strong fault-finding and problem-solving ability
• Hands-on approach with a willingness to work on the tools

Desirable:

• Basic mechanical skills (hydraulics, pneumatics)
• Experience within manufacturing or industrial environments
• The Ideal Candidate
