About the Role

We are looking for a dynamic Engineering Trainer to drive excellence across our evolving automated environments. In this pivotal role, you won't just be teaching; you'll be the bridge between complex technical theory and hands-on operational mastery.

The standard working pattern is Monday to Friday, 7:30 to 15:30, with flexibility required to meet dynamic business and training needs. During our festive peak period our trainers will join the engineering team on shift within the Andover Operating Region.
