Samuel Frank is recruiting for an Electrical Service Engineer to join a well-established engineering business based in South Yorkshire.
The successful Electrical Service Engineer will join a specialist service team responsible for maintaining, fault finding and repairing conveyor systems at customer sites across the UK. The role will suit an electrically biased engineer who enjoys travelling, working on different customer sites and solving problems. Expect to spend around two or three nights away from home each week, with occasional international travel.

• Assisting with commissioning, upgrades and modification work on new and existing conveyor systems
• Producing Method Statements and Risk Assessments for service activities
• Working closely with mechanical engineers and controls engineers on customer sites

• When not working on site, they’ll be duties to be carried out on the shop floor located in Sheffield so the successful Service Engineer will need to live within a commutable distance

Previous experience of Siemens PLC fault finding and TIA Portal would be advantageous, although the role is primarily electrical rather than software focused.
The Electrical Service Engineer will ideally have:

• NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering

• Strong electrical fault finding skills
• Experience with motors, sensors, variable speed drives and industrial control systems
• A full UK driving licence
