The role will involve working on a shift-based rota, including weekends and bank holidays where required. You will maintain clear and accurate records of work undertaken, update maintenance systems and contribute to handovers between shifts. A strong focus on health and safety is essential, including compliance with permit-to-work procedures, risk assessments, method statements and relevant statutory requirements.

Applicants should have proven experience in a maintenance, engineering or facilities environment, ideally within a time-critical operational setting. You will need a recognised engineering qualification or equivalent practical experience, together with sound knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems. Experience of planned maintenance systems, fault-finding and working with contractors would be advantageous.

You will be organised, dependable and confident working independently, while also contributing positively to a wider team. Strong communication skills are important, as you will liaise with colleagues, contractors and operational stakeholders to resolve issues efficiently. The successful candidate will demonstrate a methodical approach, good attention to detail and a commitment to continuous improvement.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced engineer to develop their technical expertise within a varied shift environment. In return, you can expect structured support, opportunities for professional development and a role where your contribution directly supports safe and effective day-to-day operations.

An opportunity is available for an Electrical Engineer to contribute to the design, development, installation and improvement of electrical systems across a range of projects. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with engineering, operations, project and maintenance teams to deliver safe, reliable and cost-effective solutions that meet technical, quality and regulatory requirements.

Key responsibilities will include preparing electrical designs, calculations, specifications and technical documentation; reviewing drawings and schematics; supporting equipment selection; and contributing to project planning, procurement, installation and commissioning activities. You will investigate technical issues, identify root causes and implement practical improvements, while ensuring that all work complies with relevant legislation, industry standards and internal procedures. The role may also involve supporting site surveys, contractor management, risk assessments and the development of operating and maintenance documentation.

You will be expected to monitor project progress, provide clear technical updates and maintain accurate records. Where required, you will assist with testing, fault-finding and performance validation, ensuring that systems are handed over safely and effectively. A strong focus on electrical safety, quality assurance and continuous improvement will be essential, together with the ability to manage competing priorities and meet agreed deadlines.

Applicants should hold a degree, HNC, HND or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline, with relevant professional experience in an engineering, manufacturing, infrastructure or project-based environment. Experience with electrical design software, control systems, power distribution, instrumentation or industrial installations would be advantageous. Knowledge of applicable wiring regulations, health and safety requirements and engineering standards is expected.

You will be an analytical and organised professional with strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. The ability to communicate technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical colleagues is important, as is a proactive approach to collaboration. A willingness to undertake occasional travel or site-based work may be required.
