You will:

Complete planned and emergent electrical and instrumentation work to site standards.
Report any non-conformances that could affect safety, quality or equipment reliability.
Coordinate maintenance activity in line with safe systems of work, risk assessments and permit requirements.

Apply problem-solving skills, including root cause analysis, to resolve operating and maintenance issues.
Provide clear handovers and maintain accurate electronic logs and records.
Support a positive, values-led culture focused on safety, teamwork and doing things right first time. We welcome applications from people who have

NVQ Level 3, or equivalent knowledge, in Instrument, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
Experience maintaining electrical and/or instrumentation equipment in manufacturing, chemical, process, utilities or another industrial environment.
A good understanding of safe systems of work, risk assessments and permit-to-work processes.

The ability to diagnose faults, solve problems and respond effectively to changing priorities.
Strong communication skills and a collaborative, safety-focused approach.
A commitment to safe working, inclusion, continuous improvement and values-led behaviours. We know people gain skills in different ways. You do not need to meet every point above to apply. If this role interests you and you believe you could make a positive contribution, we would welcome your application.
