A safety-critical operator is looking to appoint an
EC&I Technician
to support a busy fuel storage/terminal environment. You’ll take ownership of
reactive and planned maintenance
across essential electrical and control systems, helping keep assets safe, compliant, and available.

This role covers a broad range of equipment including
electrical distribution, motors, drives, switch gear, MCC/control panels, instrumentation and associated control systems
. You’ll also provide
first-line maintenance support for the site’s BPCS (Basic Process Control System)and related hardware.

While the position is primarily site-based in Scotland, you may be asked to support other UK locations from time to time, so a
full UK driving licence
is required.

Overtime may be available during weekdays and weekends (not mandatory).

Deliver day-to-day
electrical maintenance
and technical support to operations in a high-hazard environment.

Diagnose faults, carry out effective repairs, and
document work completed
to the required standard.

Complete routine inspections and checks across electrical systems, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and standards.

Work safely and efficiently on both
planned preventative maintenance
and
breakdown maintenance
, including troubleshooting and defined repair scopes.

Support compliance with site rules and best practice for hazardous areas and safety-critical work (e.g., COMAH/DSEAR/EAWR/HASAWA where applicable).

Work collaboratively with colleagues and contractors; where required,
supervise other operatives
and take responsibility for job completion.

Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying recurring issues and proposing practical solutions.

Training will be provided where there are skills gaps, including on any site-specific instrumentation or maintenance systems.

You’ll be a qualified engineering technician with a recognised apprenticeship (or equivalent structured training) and strong hands‑on EC&I experience. You’re calm under pressure, methodical in fault‑finding, and committed to safe working and high‑quality workmanship—especially in reactive situations where time and safety are critical.
