When on night shift, you will be the electrical expert on site, and during the day shifts you will be working closely with the day technical support team, including involvement in meetings and scheduled maintenance activities.

Meeting deadlines through planning and organizing your own work, completing all required documentation, as well as monitoring impact of work undertaken and taking responsibility for your work are all key attributes we are looking for.

• Proven Electrical and Instrumentation experience in a heavy industry, manufacturing or process environment
• A recognised electrical or electrical/instrumentation engineering apprenticeship preferably with a City & Guilds or equivalent NVQ qualification to level 3
• Proven experience in maintaining complex automated manufacturing systems and equipment
• Excellent troubleshooting skills, with the ability to plan and work to tight timelines while managing several tasks
• Knowledge of process instrumentation
• Knowledge of TPM
