Plant Fitter - Electrical Bias (Sizewell C)
Tru7 Group
Sizewell C

Are you a Plant Fitter, Plant Engineer, Auto Electrician or Heavy Plant Technician with a strong electrical and diagnostic background?

We're still looking for the right person to join the Tru7 Group Engineering Team as a Mobile Plant Fitter, with a particular focus on electrical fault-finding, diagnostics and modern machine technology.

This isn't just about changing filters and fixing mechanical faults.

You'll be getting to the bottom of electrical, electronic and control-system faults across a modern fleet of heavy plant - using diagnostic equipment, schematics and your technical knowledge to keep machines working safely and efficiently.

Job Responsibilities

• Electrical fault finding & diagnostics
• CAN bus & electronic control systems
• Sensors, wiring & control circuits
• Machine control & GPS technology
• Hydraulic/electrical interfaces
• Engine management systems
• Planned maintenance & breakdown response
• A wide range of modern heavy plant

Qualifications

Essential:

• NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Plant Maintenance / Construction Plant Maintenance or equivalent.
• City & Guilds / IMI / BTEC qualification in Plant Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering or Auto Electrical Engineering would also be relevant.
• Strong practical experience in electrical fault-finding and diagnostics on mobile plant, HGVs, agricultural machinery or similar equipment.
• Full UK driving licence.

Desirable:

• 18th Edition Wiring Regulations - useful, but I wouldn't make this essential for a mobile plant role.
• Manufacturer-specific training/qualifications.

Experience

• Experience with CANbus and ECU diagnostics.
• Experience with GPS and machine-control systems.
• Hydraulic/electrical control-system experience.

For this role you must have evidence of right to work in the UK. As a project, we do not discriminate on the grounds of age, gender, race, colour, religion, disability or sexual orientation, and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.

Why Join Us?

For more than 60 years, nuclear power stations in the UK have been quietly keeping Britain fuelled with massive amounts of home-grown energy.

Our teams up and down the country are proudly continuing to serve the nation - but they also have an eye on the future.

EDF is leading the UK's nuclear renaissance with the construction of a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C and plans for a new power station at Sizewell C in Suffolk.

Nuclear power is the most reliable, low-carbon energy source currently available to the UK. EDF is playing a key role in the development of nuclear sites, while Hinkley Point C will provide low-carbon electricity to meet 7% of the UK demand. The project is already making a positive impact on the local and national economy as well as boosting skills and education.

We're not just building new nuclear power stations. We're developing careers, upskilling generations and creating thousands of employment and apprenticeship opportunities across a variety of skills areas.

It takes a special kind of person to work in the nuclear energy industry and although we have thousands of them there's always a need for more.

Our industry has a mind-boggling range of opportunities and more jobs, and in more places, than you might think. But it's also an industry which is changing.

We're a responsible business and proud to be Britain's biggest generator of zero carbon electricity. With size, age and experience, we believe we can do even more.
