• A completed electrical apprenticeship
• Strong electrical maintenance and fault-finding experience
• Background in Food, FMCG, logistics, or automated warehousing environments

• Basic PLC fault-finding knowledge (Siemens / Allen Bradley / similar)
• A proactive, team-focused approach to engineering

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary of £50,000
• 4 on 4 off shift pattern (days & nights)
• Strong benefits package
• Long-term stability within a growing, multi-site UK organisation
• Ongoing training and development opportunities

This is a great opportunity for an electrically biased engineer looking to work with modern automation in a stable, professional environment.
