The Opportunity

This is a hands-on role for an Electrical Maintenance Engineer who enjoys solving real engineering problems in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. You’ll be keeping critical production equipment running, diagnosing faults under pressure, and driving improvements that directly reduce downtime and improve reliability.

  • Maintain electro-hydraulic systems
  • Ensure compliance with safety procedures (LOTO, interlocks)
  • Support extraction/ventilation systems
  • Carry out root cause analysis and implement improvements
  • Assist with upgrades and commissioning
  • Maintain documentation and provide clear shift handovers
Requirements
  • Strong industrial electrical experience (3-phase, control systems)
  • PLC fault-finding experience (Siemens/Mitsubishi preferred)
  • Experience with drives (VFD/servo systems)
  • Basic hydraulics knowledge
  • Ability to read electrical schematics
  • Manufacturing or heavy industry background
Desirable
  • HNC/HND in Electrical/Controls/Mechatronics (or equivalent)
  • Experience with TIA Portal or GX Works
  • Electrical safety or hydraulics training
Working Environment
  • Heavy industrial environment (heat, noise)
  • Shop-floor based, hands-on role
  • Involvement in shutdowns and commissioning work
