The Role
We are looking for an experienced Maintenance Electrician to join our engineering team in Sheffield. This is an excellent opportunity for an electrically qualified engineer with a strong maintenance and fault-finding background, ideally gained within a heavy industrial or manufacturing environment. The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining, fault-finding and repairing a range of industrial electrical and control systems, helping to ensure plant and equipment remain safe, reliable and operational.
Key Responsibilities
- Carry out electrical maintenance, fault finding and breakdown repairs across a range of industrial equipment.
- Diagnose and resolve electrical faults quickly and effectively to minimise production downtime.
- Work on PLC-controlled machinery, HMI systems, servos and drives.

- Assist with electrical installations and modifications where required.
- Work with industrial machinery and equipment including, where applicable, furnaces, burners, forging equipment and safety systems.
- Identify recurring faults and contribute to improvements in equipment reliability.
- Ensure all work is completed safely and in line with relevant company procedures and electrical regulations.
- Work closely with other members of the engineering and production teams.
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
- A Maintenance Electrician with a recognised electrical apprenticeship.

We will, however, consider candidates from a range of industrial backgrounds, including automation, FMCG and other manufacturing environments, provided they have strong electrical maintenance and fault-finding experience.
