Job description

Our EC&I engineer role requires the application of engineering and scientific principles to deliver and optimise safe, sustainable solutions for the design, construction, production, and operation of systems, devices, machines, structures, and processes through the full lifecycle from requirements, to design, manufacture and commissioning.

An enthusiasm for engineering combined with the proven ability to analyse problems and develop effective solutions using a strong understanding of engineering principles within a chosen discipline. A practical background is preferred with several years of applied experience is necessary.

The ability to communicate is essential with excellent verbal and written communication skills to convey technical information clearly to non-engineers and stakeholders.

It is a broad and diverse role involving working both individually and in internal multi-disciplinary teams as well as with the end user in different locations. The role requires the practicing of sustainability, integrity, ethics, diversity, and inclusion to deliver a successful solution.

Responsibilities & Duties

As an EC&I Engineer at M5tec, your responsibilities may include:

• Designing and specifying electrical, control, and instrumentation systems for industrial and high-assurance applications
• The design, installation, and maintenance of electrical hardware and systems and instrumentation used to monitor and control these systems, machines and industrial processes.
• Developing control philosophies, functional design specifications, and system architectures and the implementation of systems that regulate, optimisze, and maintain the behaviour of dynamic processes to achieve desired performance and stability.
• Selecting, integrating, and optimising power distribution systems, motors, drives, generators, transformers, and protection systems
• Specifying and integrating instrumentation, including sensors, transmitters, actuators, and control elements for measuring variables such as temperature, pressure, flow, force, and displacement
• Applying control theory and automation principles to ensure systems operate predictably, efficiently, and safely
• Assisting with manufacture, build, testing, trials, and commissioning activities
• Engaging with clients, stakeholders, and end users, helping translate technical information into clear, practical outcomes
• Supporting project delivery while developing an understanding of commercial, contractual, and regulatory requirements
• Adhering to engineering standards, quality procedures, and health & safety requirements

What We’re Looking For

• A Minimum 2 nd class degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering, Control Engineering, Mechatronic engineering or a related discipline
• Minimum of 1 to 2 years of post-graduate experience in an engineering role preferably within highly regulated industries such as Nuclear, Subsea, Renewables, Oil and Gas and Defence.
• Strong knowledge of:
  • Electrical power and distribution systems
  • Control systems and automation
  • Instrumentation and process measurement
  • Control theory, modelling and feedback systems
• A practical, problem-solving approach to engineering challenges
• Evidence of the successful delivery of engineered solutions
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-engineers
• Experience working within multi-disciplinary teams and engaging with clients or end users
• A professional approach aligned with sustainability, integrity, ethics, diversity, and inclusion

It’s our mission to become the UK’s number one provider of engineered solutions to high assurance industries.
