The Cork Manufacturing Engineering and Maintenance Department is seeking a qualified Maintenance Technician with expertise in one or more of the following disciplines: IT/OT (Information Technology/Operational Technology) mechanical, electronic and electrical systems.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of our process equipment, as well as supporting the IT/OT infrastructure of automated equipment and networked industrial systems.

This role requires a versatile skill set, blending various aspects of automation and systems knowledge.

Description The role involves the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of automated & semi-automated assembly and test equipment on a busy production floor.

The equipment primarily consist of IT/OT infrastructure, electronic devices, mechanical assemblies and electrical systems.

When equipment fails to meet its user needs, you will follow a structured troubleshooting process to identify and resolve the root cause of the issue.

The key steps include: Establish Theories: Work through a logical troubleshooting process to develop potential causes of the failure.

Test Theories: Test each theory in a controlled manner to determine the actual root cause(s).

Implement Final Fix: Once the root cause is identified, implement a permanent fix to restore the equipment to its normal operating mode, ensuring it meets agreed standards.

Prevent Recurrence: Work proactively to ensure that the failure does not occur again by identifying and addressing underlying issues.

Record and Report: Document all relevant information and updates in the central Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) for future reference and reporting.

The types of routine tasks that will be assigned to you are as follows: Troubleshooting: Diagnose and repair issues across mechanical, electronic, and IT/OT domains, including equipment malfunctions, electronic faults, system connectivity problems, and network failures.

IT/OT Systems Integration: Install, configure, and maintain IT/OT infrastructure, including PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), vision systems, HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces), industrial control networks, and communication systems.

Mechanical Maintenance: Install, repair, and maintain mechanical systems, including drives, guarding, pneumatic circuit and conveyor systems.

Preventive Maintenance: Perform regular inspections and preventive maintenance to protect equipment longevity, safety, and reliability.

Safety and Compliance: Adhere to company-specific guidelines and industry standards, ensuring compliance with mechanical, electronic, and electrical safety regulations.

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as required to maintain a safe working environment and protect the quality of our products.

Change Control and Documentation: Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all changes to IT/OT configurations, system updates, and troubleshooting activities to ensure transparency and traceability of modifications.

Minimum Qualifications Education: Qualified technician or time-served tradesperson with expertise in one or more of the following disciplines: Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, IT/OT Systems, Motor Mechanic, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical, or Electronic Technologies.

Collaboration: Proactive individual who can work closely with other technicians, engineers, and IT/OT specialists to ensure efficient operation.

Communicate with various departments to plan and execute maintenance and repair activities.

Flexibility in working hours: Shifts patterns may change depending on business needs.

Flexibility to adapt is essential for ensuring operational continuity.

The current shift patterns are as follows: Three-day, 12-hour shift pattern: Working hours are from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
