Working in a clean room or controlled environment, you will provide technical expertise to fault find, maintain and continually improve bespoke automated equipment and processes. Our current vacancies support our 4 on 4 off Days and Nights rotating pattern, or 4 on 4 off Nights.
ABOUT YOU:
To be successful, you will need experience of Engineering within a manufacturing environment, specifically experience and skills in set-up of precision assemblies, the use of machine tools, fault finding and problem solving.

Continuous Improvement is an important part of our site’s culture, so you will also have the opportunity to propose and contribute to initiatives and projects that improve our operations. You will also be required to demonstrate the ability to effectively communicate with your peers and other departments and to maintain a high standard of record keeping as required by our stringent quality systems. At Abbott, you can work with great people, helping our patients and customers to thrive.

- Laser cutting & marking
- Micro fluid deposition
- Vision systems
- Working in a regulated industry (e.g. pharma, medical device)
