Test Engineer 

West Yorkshire | £35,000 - £39,000 + Pension + Training

Good switchgear test engineers are hard to find.

Most businesses know that.

This manufacturer designs and builds bespoke LV switchgear and power distribution equipment for industrial and infrastructure projects across the UK. Quality standards are high because the equipment supports critical environments where reliability matters.

They’re looking for a Test Engineer to carry out electrical and functional testing across LV switchgear assemblies before final delivery.

The role includes:

• Testing LV switchgear assemblies to BS EN 61439 standards
• Carrying out insulation resistance, continuity, primary and secondary injection testing
• Fault finding and resolving issues alongside production teams
• Completing FAT documentation
• Supporting customer witness testing
• Working closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to maintain quality and delivery standards

This is a hands-on engineering environment where testing is taken seriously. The role suits someone practical, methodical, and comfortable working closely with both manufacturing and project teams.

You’ll need:

• Experience testing LV switchgear or power distribution equipment
• Ability to read electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
• Strong fault-finding ability
• A structured, detail-focused approach
• Confidence communicating during FAT activity

What’s on offer:

• £35,000 - £44,000 salary
• Overtime available
• Pension
• Ongoing technical training
• Monday to Friday hours
• Stable long-term engineering environment

This would suit someone who enjoys proper engineering involvement and wants to work in a business where quality still matters more than volume. If you take pride in getting things right first time and enjoy being the final quality check before equipment leaves the factory, you’ll fit well into this team.
