Electro-Mechanical Engineer

Electro-Mechanical Engineer (Multi-Skilled - Electrical Bias)

Cheltenham | Days Only, No Shifts | Up to £45,000 (DOE)

Are you a skilled Electro-Mechanical Engineer looking for a primarily electrical role that is a varied and hands-on position where no two days are the same?

Our client is a highly respected manufacturer of precision machinery, supplying specialist equipment to customers across the UK and internationally. Due to continued growth and increasing customer demand, they are looking to recruit a talented and motivated Electro-Mechanical Engineer to join their engineering team based in Cheltenham.

This is a rare and excellent opportunity for a practical engineer who enjoys working across both electrical and mechanical disciplines, taking projects from assembly and build through to commissioning, installation, and customer support.

The Opportunity

This role offers the chance to work on bespoke, high-precision machinery within a professional engineering environment. You'll play a key role in the complete machine build process, working closely with engineering documentation and drawings to ensure equipment is assembled, wired, tested, and commissioned to the highest standards.

The position would suit a multi-skilled engineer with an electrical and mechanical skill set, although candidates with a stronger electrical bias and some mechanical experiences are particularly encouraged to apply due to the nature of the work being mostly electrical.

Beyond the workshop, you'll have the opportunity to represent the business at customer sites throughout the UK and occasionally overseas, carrying out installations, commissioning activities, servicing, and technical support.

Key Responsibilities

As an Electro-Mechanical Engineer, your duties will include:

Machine Build & Assembly

Mechanical assembly and final build of bespoke machines
Working from detailed engineering drawings, assembly instructions, and technical documentation
Fitting and aligning mechanical components to exact specifications
Assisting in machine modifications and continuous improvement activities

Electrical Assembly & Wiring

Building electrical control panels and operator consoles
Machine wiring in accordance with prepared wiring diagrams and schematics
Installation of electrical components including drives, motors, sensors, switches, relays, and control equipment
Ensuring all electrical work is completed safely and to a high standard

Testing & Commissioning

Electrical testing and fault finding during machine build
Machine setting, calibration, and performance verification
Supporting in-house commissioning activities prior to customer acceptance
Diagnosing and resolving electrical and mechanical issues throughout the build process

Customer Installation & Service Support

Installation and commissioning of machinery at customer facilities throughout the UK
Providing technical support and troubleshooting on customer sites
Service, maintenance, and repair of company machines
Building strong relationships with customers through professional and effective support

Travel requirements include:

UK travel approximately once per month, typically involving 2-3 day visits
International travel is expected to be minimal, but may be required when necessary
What We're Looking For

We're seeking an enthusiastic engineer who enjoys problem solving, takes pride in their work, and is comfortable working both independently and as part of a wider engineering team.

Recognised electrical engineering qualification
Experience working within a manufacturing, machinery build, automation, special purpose machinery, or industrial engineering environment
Good understanding of electrical control systems
Strong electro-mechanical fault-finding and diagnostic skills
Ability to interpret engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation
Comfortable working with minimal supervision and using your own initiative
Good IT skills, including the ability to complete service reports and documentation
Full UK driving licence
Willingness to travel within the UK and occasionally overseas
