  • Work with servo and inverter drives and large‑scale industrial machinery
  • Maintain a strong focus on safety and compliance at all times
Who You Are

  • Proven electrical experience within a manufacturing, process or industrial environment
  • A recognised electrical apprenticeship (City & Guilds, NVQ or equivalent)
