Job description

Overview

Electrical Technician – L’Derry

We’re working with a well-established manufacturing solutions provider who are expanding their team in Derry. They’re looking for an Electrical Technician to join their team, supporting the design, build, and commissioning of bespoke systems for clients across a range of industries. This role isn’t production line work; it involves a mix of panel building, wiring, diagnostics, and hands-on involvement in custom machine builds.

What you’ll be doing

• Building and wiring electrical panels and systems based on technical drawings
• Installing and connecting field devices, sensors, and motors on automation cells
• Supporting the commissioning of new machinery, both in-house and occasionally on customer sites
• Diagnosing and fixing faults on control systems, PLC panels, and electrical hardware
• Following health & safety protocols and maintaining accurate job documentation
• Working alongside mechanical, controls, and software teams to deliver complete systems

What we’re looking for

• NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds, or HNC in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
• Experience with control panel wiring, machine build, and general industrial electrical work
• Ability to read and interpret schematics and wiring diagrams
• Familiarity with PLC systems (Siemens, Allen-Bradley) is beneficial, but not essential
• Someone who can work on their own initiative, problem-solve on the job, and take pride in a clean, safe work environment

What’s on offer

• A permanent role with a company that invests in its people and promotes from within
• Exposure to cutting-edge automation projects — not repetitive work
• Opportunity to develop your electrical skills and move into controls, commissioning, or project leadership down the line

This is a great role for someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, and being hands-on from day one. Whether you\'re already experienced or ready to step up from a junior role, there’s room to grow here.
