About the Role
Help us make a difference as a Shift Electrical Technician at our West Sussex MBT/AD facility. You will effectively drive engineering activities to deliver all operational aspects of the facility, ensuring plant availability through timely completion of planned preventative maintenance (PPM), reactive maintenance, engineering tasks, and process improvements. You will uphold best practices on shift by maintaining high engineering, compliance, and health & safety standards.

Your core responsibilities include working reactively to resolve machinery problems and breakdowns, as well as executing planned maintenance and project work. The electrical scope covers sensors, relays, AC/DC motors, contactors, control panels, and PLCs. Fault finding on PLCs, preferably Siemens S7, is highly desirable. Experience in manufacturing, industrial, or automated environments supporting maintenance work is ideal.

You will be responsible for motor electrical and mechanical fault finding, familiarity with MCC panel layouts, controls and instrumentation (temperature sensors, pressure transducers, flow meters), reading and interpreting electrical drawings, electrical fault diagnosis, and PLC hardware knowledge. Ensuring all accidents, incidents, and near misses are reported immediately and maintaining high standards of housekeeping are essential parts of the role.

Experience
Proven experience in electrical maintenance within manufacturing, industrial, or automated environments is preferred. Experience in fault finding on PLCs, especially Siemens S7, is advantageous.

About you
You must be electrical qualified and competent, with a strong commitment to health and safety and compliance standards. You should be proactive, reliable, and able to work effectively on shift patterns. Good communication skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team are essential.

Qualifications
HNC Electrical/Electronic Engineering is required.
BS7671 18th Edition qualification is advantageous.
