We are recruiting an Electrical Panel Wirer on behalf of a well-established and respected engineering business based in Swavesey, Cambridgeshire. This is a stable, long-standing business with a strong international reputation and a close-knit engineering team.

This is a workshop-based, hands-on role where you will build and wire industrial electrical control panels, prepare cable assemblies, and install electrical equipment on a diverse range of specialist machinery. Unlike repetitive production-line wiring, this role offers genuine variety — making it an excellent long-term opportunity for someone who takes real pride in producing neat, accurate work and is looking to settle into a role where their contribution is visible and valued.

We are looking for someone settled in their career who sees this as a long-term position, not a stepping stone.

• Build and wire industrial electrical control panels to approved drawings and wiring diagrams
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, component layouts, and termination information
• Prepare, cut, strip, crimp, label, and terminate cables and machine wiring looms
• Fit and connect cable glands, terminal blocks, connectors, sensors, switches, motors, and other machine electrical devices
• Route, secure, and identify wiring neatly within panels and across machinery
• Check completed work against drawings, identify discrepancies, and help resolve wiring issues
• Work alongside mechanical and engineering colleagues during machine assembly, testing, and preparation for despatch
• Follow safe working practices and maintain a clean, organised workshop at all times

Essential:

• Practical experience in electrical panel wiring, machine wiring, or a similar electrical assembly role
• Ability to read and work accurately from electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
• Competence with hand tools, crimping equipment, cable preparation, and termination
• A methodical, neat approach to wiring — someone who takes care and pride in the quality of their work
• Excellent attention to detail and a proactive, reliable approach
• Comfortable working independently within a small, close-knit team
• A settled career background — we are looking for someone seeking a long-term role

Desirable:

• Experience with industrial control systems, 24V DC and 230/400V AC wiring, motors, sensors, and solenoid valves
• Electrical fault-finding or machine commissioning experience
• 18th edition wiring regulations — useful but not essential; practical ability is what counts
• Relevant electrical qualifications are welcome, though proven practical experience is equally valued

• Salary: £32,000 - £38,000 per annum, dependent on experience
• Hours:
  
  Monday to Friday, basic daytime hours
• Workshop based — no expectation to travel off-site, though occasional local travel may arise
