  • assembly of Roughing Mill work rolls and Skin Pass Mill work rolls
  • changing chucks for Finish Mill work rolls and Roughing Mill work rolls
  • using fine skills in measurement and assessment
  • testing of defects in rolls
  • isolating equipment and performing maintenance   
  • inspecting quality critical equipment and fault finding 
  • resolving issues and fixing any non-conformances 
  • seeking ways to continuously improve our maintenance strategies

  • mechanical trade qualifications
  • experience within a maintenance function
