Electrical Maintenance/Controls Support

Just finished your Electrical Engineering Apprenticeship and ready to take your next big step? Zenith are recruiting for a client of ours who are a Manufacturer based here in the North East and are looking to welcome a time-served Electrical Maintenance Technician into their team.
Instead of spending your days dealing with the same breakdowns, you’ll split you timew between hands‑on engineering and office‑based innovation. You’ll build on the foundations of your apprenticeship, sharpen your PLC skills, work closely with an experienced CAD Design Team, and get involved in real R&D projects that shape future products and processes.

*
Getting involved in R&D projects, contributing fresh thinking and technical input
*
Developing your PLC knowledge with support from experienced engineers

Recently completed an Electrical Engineering Apprenticeship (or similar qualification)
