• Electrical tasks: power and control wiring, basic panel builds, and inverter drive setup (not all required from day one).
• Workshop‑based work with occasional site visits for installs or remedial tasks (CSCS card useful but not essential).
• Working independently when needed, and supporting the team during larger builds.

What We're Looking For

• Confident MIG welding skills suitable for producing strong, clean, accurate workshop welds.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and experience using common workshop tools and equipment.
• Basic electrical knowledge; further training provided if needed.
