We are recruiting a Senior Electrical Engineer to join an extrusion blow moulding facility in Hillington. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious engineering professional to take on a senior technical position within a specialist manufacturing environment, influence engineering standards and play an important part in the development of a growing operation.
As the new Senior Electrical Engineer, you will work alongside the Engineering Manager to oversee day-to-day engineering activities, improve equipment reliability and strengthen the technical capabilities of the wider team. Your responsibilities will span electrical fault diagnosis, planned maintenance, machinery upgrades, equipment commissioning and staff development, with a particular focus on keeping production running safely and efficiently.
The successful Senior Electrical Engineer will bring a strong background in industrial electrical engineering, ideally gained within plastics manufacturing, extrusion blow moulding or a similar production setting. You should be comfortable diagnosing complex machinery faults, supporting maintenance teams and sharing your technical knowledge with colleagues. The ability to lead by example, develop less experienced engineers and identify practical improvements to manufacturing performance will be essential.
Required Senior Electrical Engineer Experience:
* Relevant electrical engineering experience within an industrial or manufacturing setting.
* Strong diagnostic skills covering electrical faults, machine controls and industrial equipment.
* Practical knowledge of motors, electrical heating elements, gearboxes and control panels.
* Experience with preventative maintenance, equipment repairs and machinery reliability.
* Previous involvement in coaching, mentoring or upskilling engineering personnel.
* A sound understanding of workplace safety, operating procedures and manufacturing quality requirements.
* Exposure to blow moulding equipment, plastics production, automated systems or robotics would be beneficial.
As the new Senior Electrical Engineer you will take ownership of engineering improvements, help coordinate maintenance priorities and support the resolution of recurring production issues. You will also contribute to the introduction of new machinery and tooling, strengthen operator knowledge of equipment settings and quality control, and ensure technical records and maintenance documentation remain accurate. Acting as a senior point of contact for the engineering team, you will help maintain departmental continuity and provide leadership when the Engineering Manager is unavailable.
