Electrical Maintenance Engineer

If you re an Electrical Service Engineer who enjoys proper fault finding, getting hands-on with machinery and actually being listened to this one s worth a look.

This is a stable, well-run manufacturing site with a dedicated maintenance team, long-standing managers and a strong engineering culture. You won t be firefighting chaos or swapping parts blindly this is about thinking, diagnosing, fixing and improving.

Why Electrical Engineers Like This Role

• Real electrical fault finding not just resets and parts changing
• Siemens S7 PLCs, drives, sensors, control panels
• Clear wiring diagrams, safe systems of work and proper isolation
• Time to diagnose issues properly
• A team that values engineering judgement
• Clean, modern factory (not a dusty nightmare)
• Repair-focused maintenance you ll actually use your skills

What You ll Be Doing

• Electrical fault finding on production and process equipment
• Diagnosing motors, inverters, sensors and control circuits
• Working with Siemens S7 PLC-controlled machinery (training available if needed)
• Planned and reactive maintenance on automated production lines
• Responding to breakdowns and getting the plant back up safely and efficiently
• Using CMMS to log work and keep records tidy
• Supporting improvements, upgrades and new installations
• Working closely with operators and other engineers no silos

There is mechanical work involved, but the electrical skillset is key. If you re electrically biased and mechanically comfortable, you ll fit right in.

The Equipment (The Bit Engineers Care About)

You ll work across two areas:

Production / Finishing (FMCG style)

Continuous automated lines

Siemens S7 PLCs and Siemens drives

CNC cutting machines

Industrial saws and material handling equipment

Robotics including palletising, stacking, wrapping and packaging

Process / Plant Area

Pumps, hydraulics and pneumatics

Mixing tanks, dosing systems and pipework

Strong focus on fixing and refurbishing, not just replacing

What You Need (Non-Negotiable)

• Electrical (or Mechanical) qualification NVQ Level 3 minimum (or equivalent)
• 18th Edition on its own isn t enough
• Apprentice trained electrical or multi-skilled background
• Confident with:
• Safe isolation and test for dead
• Motor fault finding
• Point-to-point wiring
• Reading electrical drawings
• Experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment
• Willing to work a rotating Panama shift pattern (days & nights)
• Full right to work in the UK (no sponsorship available)

Nice to Have (Not Essential)

FMCG or continuous process experience

Siemens PLC fault finding

SCADA or HMI exposure

Robotics or automated machinery experience

Mechanical confidence around pumps, pneumatics and hydraulics

If you ve got the attitude and core electrical skills, they ll invest in the rest.
