Build Your Future. Improve Lives. Grow with Abbott.

At Abbott, we don't just manufacture products, we change lives.

Our Kilkenny facility is one of the most advanced manufacturing sites in Europe, producing FreeStyle glucose monitoring technology that supports millions of people living with diabetes worldwide. As we continue to grow, we're building a team of Technicians at multiple experience levels, offering secure careers, real progression, and meaningful work from day one.

This opportunity may particularly suit qualified mechanics, mechanical fitters, maintenance fitters, toolmakers, and mechanical technicians who are interested in applying their technical skills within a highly automated manufacturing environment while developing expertise in advanced production technologies.

The Role

We are recruiting Mechanical Technicians at various experience levels to join our brand-new Kilkenny site. This is a hands-on technical role where you'll play a critical role in ensuring our automated production lines run safely, efficiently, and reliably. You'll work with modern machinery, structured maintenance systems, and cross-functional teams, with strong opportunities for skill development and career progression in a growing operation.

What You'll Do

Perform preventative maintenance, fault diagnosis, and repairs on production equipment
Troubleshoot mechanical, pneumatic, electrical, and automated systems
Carry out mechanical adjustments, equipment changeovers, and component replacement as required
Monitor machine performance and support OEE and yield targets
Use data and CMMS systems to identify issues and drive improvements
Support or lead continuous improvement and root cause analysis activities
Assist with equipment installation, validation, and upgrades
Train and support operators on production equipment
Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, quality, and operations teams
Maintain clear documentation, reporting, and compliance standards

Experience Levels – Where You Fit

We are hiring across two levels, recognising both potential and proven experience:

Confident in independent troubleshooting and fault finding
Experience in regulated or high-volume manufacturing (advantageous)
Ability to interpret technical drawings and drive root cause analysis
Comfortable working autonomously and leading tasks
Strong communicator, able to train others and drive improvements

We hire Level B for performance. You'll hit the ground running and make a difference immediately.

What You'll Bring

Level 6 qualification (or higher) in a technical/engineering discipline, or a recognised mechanical trade qualification
Mechanical aptitude and strong troubleshooting skills
Experience working with machinery, equipment maintenance, or mechanical systems
Interest or experience in automation and manufacturing
A safety-first, quality-driven approach
Strong teamwork and communication skills
Experience with CMMS or data-driven systems (advantageous)
