The Role

As an Equipment Technician, you will play a critical role in maintaining and supporting the packaging equipment that drives our production operations.

During changeovers, you’ll help prepare packaging lines—clearing, setting up, and testing equipment to ensure readiness for the next product.

Throughout the day, you’ll diagnose issues using mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic skills, documenting your work and collaborating closely with Production and Engineering teams. Whether you’re replacing parts, supporting equipment tests, or staging spare components, your work ensures that packaging lines operate safely, efficiently, and with minimal downtime—helping medicines reach patients without delay.
