Controls & Electrical Technician

Controls & Electrical Technician

Location: Fakenham, Norfolk

Salary: 45,000 - 50,000

Full Time Permanent Monday to Friday

Looking for more than just another maintenance role?

If you enjoy designing, building and commissioning bespoke machinery, this is an opportunity to work on projects from concept through to completion.

We're recruiting on behalf of an established engineering manufacturer that designs and builds specialist equipment for customers across a range of industries. Every machine is built to customer requirements, giving you genuine variety and the chance to see your work come to life.

This isn't a production maintenance position. You'll be part of a close-knit engineering team, taking ownership of electrical controls, supporting machine builds and helping deliver bespoke engineering solutions from start to finish.

What you'll be doing

As a Controls & Electrical Technician, you'll play a key role throughout the project lifecycle, including:

• Designing practical electrical control solutions for bespoke machinery.
• Producing electrical schematics and technical documentation.
• Selecting electrical components including PLCs, HMIs, sensors, relays and safety devices.
• Configuring and programming PLC and HMI systems.
• Supporting the electrical assembly and wiring of machinery.
• Testing, fault finding and commissioning completed equipment.
• Supporting machine installation and customer acceptance where required.
• Working closely with production and engineering teams to deliver high-quality projects.
• Contributing to the ongoing development and improvement of existing products.

What we're looking for

You'll ideally have experience with:

• Industrial electrical control systems.
• PLC and HMI programming.
• Electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Machine wiring or control panel assembly.
• Electrical testing, fault finding and commissioning.
• Manufacturing, machinery or automation environments.

Experience with AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN or similar electrical design software would be advantageous.

Why join?

• 45,000 - 50,000 salary.
• Monday to Friday working.
• Work on bespoke machinery rather than repetitive maintenance.
• Be involved from design through to commissioning.
• Genuine project ownership and technical variety.
• Supportive engineering team.
• Company pension.
• Free on-site parking.

If you're looking for a role where your electrical, controls and commissioning skills will be valued, and you enjoy seeing projects through from initial design to final testing, we'd like to hear from you.
