Electrical Instrumentation Technician

Are you an experienced, hands‑on E/I Technician looking for a stable Monday–Friday role with no shifts or call-outs? We’re working closely with a well‑established manufacturing site in the Cwmbran area that is expanding its maintenance capability and looking for someone who enjoys practical instrumentation work in a planned‑maintenance environment.

This is a great opportunity to join a supportive engineering team where your skills will make a real impact.

You’ll be part of a wider maintenance team of around 16, focusing primarily on instrumentation work (around 75%) with some electrical responsibilities (around 25%). The site is well‑organised, safety‑driven, and operates with a strong planned‑maintenance culture.

Your responsibilities will include:

Diagnosing and resolving instrumentation and electrical faults during plant issues

Installing, commissioning, and maintaining control and measurement systems (pressure, level, temperature etc.)

Calibrating instrumentation using modern tools and software

Working on hazardous‑area equipment in line with relevant regulations

Supporting electrical tasks such as 415V motor work, lighting, and cable management

Keeping accurate maintenance records and updating engineering drawings when required

The ideal candidate is practical, hands‑on, and enjoys being involved in day‑to‑day instrumentation work rather than high‑level engineering or design. You’ll be able to demonstarte the following experience:

A time‑served apprenticeship or qualification in electrical or instrumentation

Strong fault‑finding skills and a methodical approach

Hands‑on experience in an industrial, manufacturing, or process environment

A commitment to safe working and high‑quality standards

The ability to work independently and as part of a team

Experience with systems such as SAP or calibration software (training can be provided)

Nice to have:

DSEAR/ATEX or explosive‑atmosphere experience

Apprenticeship background

Broader exposure to hazardous‑area equipment

A few extra details: 

Monday–Friday days (8am–4pm), no shifts, no call‑outs

Stable, well‑run site with strong investment in maintenance

Supportive team of 16 with a collaborative culture

Planned‑maintenance environment rather than constant firefighting

Immediate start available due to a backfill requirement
