Join a market-leading UK recycling and processing specialist operating high-volume, 24-hour industrial facilities across the country. They offer exceptional job security, continuous investment, and a hands-on environment for engineers who prefer heavy industrial kit over cleanrooms.

Deliver planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and rapid breakdown response across continuous processing lines, heavy bulk-handling equipment, and environmental plant.
Carry out electrical fault-finding and repairs on AC/DC motors, variable speed drives, actuators, switchgear, and safety control circuits.
Perform basic PLC and SCADA fault-finding (reading inputs/outputs, basic signal checking, and reset functions-no complex programming required).
Maintain and service heavy processing machinery: screw conveyors, hoppers, crushers, mills, motor-driven presses, continuous cookers, dryers, coolers, screening equipment, filters, pumps, and pipework.
Support electrical isolations, testing, inspection, and small installation projects in line with Safe Working Procedures.
Work closely with mechanical colleagues to minimize downtime and keep high-capacity plant operating efficiently.

What We're Looking For

Electrical Qualification (Essential): Minimum NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent C&G / ONC). 18th Edition is desirable.
Technical Experience: Practical electrical background in industrial, manufacturing, recycling, heavy processing, or heavy engineering environments (Domestic-only experience will not be suitable).
PLC Knowledge: Basic understanding of PLC inputs/outputs and SCADA systems (Mitsubishi, Siemens, or Danfoss drive experience is a bonus).
