This is a senior hands-on leadership role suited to someone who has already managed a mixed engineering workshop, engineering services business or similar practical environment. The successful candidate will need strong fabrication and welding understanding, supported by enough machining knowledge to plan varied workshop activity including one-off jobs, batch work, repairs, refurbishment and urgent customer requirements.
