At Zooki, we believe in doing things properly--with care, attention, and a genuine passion for what we do. Whether it's supporting our customers or helping each other out, we always go the extra mile. We're a close-knit team that values kindness, teamwork, and a proactive attitude.

You'll have the space to build systems properly, shape maintenance and engineering standards from the ground up, and directly influence how we scale our automation capability in the months and years ahead.

You'll work closely with the leadership team, but this is very much your domain to own. We want someone who takes pride in doing things well, understands the detail behind machinery and systems, and can take charge of technical operations with confidence and care.

Continuously improve performance and reliability through understanding and care.

Implement preventative maintenance - Develop and manage a clear, well-structured preventative maintenance programme to ensure machine availability and reduce breakdown risk. Manage spare parts and components - Maintain accurate records and stock levels for critical spares. Ensure we have what we need on hand and reorder proactively. Fault-finding and troubleshooting - Confidently identify and resolve electrical, mechanical, or system issues with minimal disruption to production. Support continuous improvement - Regularly review machine performance, suggest improvements, and help to implement practical upgrades or changes. Recommend and support future investments - Contribute technical insight into decisions about new machinery and improvements to existing infrastructure. Uphold safety and compliance standards - Provide competent support on technical health, safety, and environmental matters. Promote and model safe working practices across the team. Support and train others - Where applicable, provide training, mentoring, and day-to-day support to other members of the team on optimal operations of our equipment.
