Job description

Industrial Installation Electrician | Heywood | £42,000 + Overtime

Are you an experienced industrial electrician who enjoys working with control panels, machinery and electrical systems, rather than carrying out the same installations day in, day out?

What you’ll be doing

You'll be working on a variety of industrial engineering projects, installing and wiring machinery, control panels and electrical systems for customers across the UK and occasionally overseas.

• Working from electrical drawings and schematics to connect power, controls, motors, sensors and other field devices.
• Carrying out electrical testing, fault finding and supporting commissioning engineers to get systems up and running.
• Working alongside mechanical and electrical engineers to deliver installations at customer sites.

It's a role that offers variety in both the equipment you're working on and the projects you're involved in, with the opportunity to see installations through to completion.

What you’ll need

• City & Guilds Level 3 in Electrical Engineering/Installation (or equivalent), AM2/AM2S and 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.
• Hands‑on experience with industrial electrical installations, particularly machinery and control systems.
• Experience wiring electrical control panels from schematics and electrical drawings.

• £42,000 per annum following a successful 3-month trial period.
• Overtime available, including enhanced rates.
• 40-hour working week.
• Overnight stay allowance and company van when working on‑site.
