About the Role

This newly created role is part of a refreshed structure within the maintenance team at Cowal, designed to support the growing fleet and improve servicing coordination across the site.

  • Familiarity with Pronto or similar CMMS systems
  • A proactive mindset, strong communication skills, and a commitment to safety
