Job description

At TÜV SÜD we are passionate about technology. Innovations impact our daily lives in countless ways, and we are dedicated to being a part of that progress. We test, we audit, we inspect, we advise. We never stop challenging ourselves for the safety of society and its people. We breathe technology, we strive for professional excellence, and we leave a mark. We take the future into our hands. We are TÜV SÜD.

Hands-on electrical, control and instrumentation support across an established site.

Are you a time-served electrician with instrumentation experience, looking for a role where you're on the tools, keeping real plant running, and no two days look the same?

We're recruiting an EC&I Technician to join our Engineering team in East Kilbride. This role is centred on supporting and maintaining our existing electrical infrastructure — 415V motors, control panels, distribution and instrumentation — and on making sure that infrastructure is properly documented, drawn and understood. You'll also play an important part when new equipment arrives on site: supporting commissioning, coordinating the contractors carrying out the work, and ensuring what gets installed is tested, signed off and accurately recorded.

The Role

Day to day, you could be:

• Carrying out planned and reactive maintenance on existing electrical, control and instrumentation systems
• Working hands-on with 415V three-phase equipment, including motors, starters, isolators, distribution boards and control panels
• Fault finding and diagnosing issues across electrical systems, instrumentation, PLCs and HMIs
• Producing and updating electrical drawings, schematics and P&IDs in AutoCAD, including accurate as-built records for installed infrastructure
• Maintaining asset records, panel schedules, test records and maintenance documentation
• Supporting the commissioning of new installations — testing, witnessing, checking work against specification and making sure the documentation reflects what has actually been installed
• Managing and coordinating contractors on site: inductions, permits to work, isolations, quality checks and sign-off
• Carrying out small installation and modification works, including wiring, terminations and panel work
• Handling general facility electrical tasks such as lighting, sockets and minor repairs
• Ensuring all work meets health and safety standards and relevant industry regulations

This is a support and maintenance role rather than a design position — you'll be the person who knows the installed infrastructure inside out, keeps it running, and holds contractors to the right standard.

What We're Looking For

Someone who takes pride in their work, communicates clearly, and works well as part of a team. You'll need the attention to detail to keep drawings and records accurate and up to date, the confidence to hold contractors to standard, and you'll be equally comfortable with a set of tools in your hand.

What You'll Need

• A recognised Electrical/Instrumentation apprenticeship
• 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations certification
• Proven hands-on experience working on 415V equipment, including motors and control panels
• Strong electrical and instrumentation maintenance and fault-finding experience on established plant or facilities
• AutoCAD skills, with the ability to produce and maintain accurate electrical drawings and P&IDs for installed infrastructure
• A methodical approach to documentation and record keeping
• Confidence working alongside and coordinating contractors, including permits to work and safe isolation
• Good PC literacy and confidence with engineering software
• Experience working within an engineering team

Where We Can Offer In Training

If you have solid electrical and instrumentation skills but less exposure to control systems, we'd still like to hear from you. For the right candidate we can provide training in:

• PLC fault finding and diagnostics (Siemens focus)
• HMI and industrial control systems
• Industrial communication protocols
• CompEx 1–4 certification
• The hands-on electrical experience and documentation discipline are essential; the control systems knowledge can be built.

What We Offer

• A minimum of 33 days holiday for full-time employees, including public holidays
• Contributory Group Personal Pension Plan
• Non-contributory Group Life Assurance Scheme
• Salary Exchange/Sacrifice schemes, including buying and selling holiday, cycle to work and pensions
• Incentive schemes
• Comprehensive wellbeing support, including an Employee Assistance Programme, Dental Scheme and Occupational Health services

At TÜV SÜD, we have employees from more than 100 different countries collaborating together. People of different backgrounds, skills, and pursuing different life goals. Our strength comes from these countless and varied perspectives.

We are committed to be an inclusive and diverse workplace by welcoming people of all backgrounds. We want Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) to be a foundation of our company and create an environment where all our employees can trust they will be treated with respect, regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic background, faith, beliefs, disabilities, age, sexual orientation, or identity. As such, our employees are expected to behave at all times in a manner consistent with TÜV SÜD Code of Ethics and Company values.

We firmly believe embedding D&I in the heart of what we do will inherently contribute to the success of TÜV SÜD. Click here to find out more about Diversity at TÜV SÜD.
