What you’ll be doing
As an Electrical Maintenance Engineer, you will be responsible for both reactive and planned maintenance across a wide range of heavy industrial equipment. You’ll spend around 70% of your time on breakdown response and 30% on proactive PPM, ensuring maximum uptime of critical machinery.

  • Electrical fault finding on motors, inverters, relays, solenoids, and safety circuits.
  • Reading and interpreting electrical drawings to diagnose and resolve issues.
  • Wiring, testing, and assembling electrical components safely and effectively.
  • Basic PLC fault finding and using IO screens, with training provided on Siemens S7 TIA Portal.
  • Supporting minor mechanical tasks (changing bearings, belts, pulleys) when required.
  • Working with PPMs issued via tablet, ensuring compliance and accurate records.
  • Contributing to continuous improvement projects and supporting installation of new equipment.

This is an exciting opportunity for an Electrical Maintenance Engineer who thrives in fast-paced, large-scale environments and wants exposure to high-value capital machinery.
