Fancy building something you can actually stand back and be proud of? Not another job wiring the same thing on repeat. Not another role where you spend all day doing one small part of a build and never see what happens next. This is bespoke automation. You’ll be wiring machinery from electrical schematics, testing systems, tracing faults, working with pneumatics and helping get finished equipment up and running at customer sites in the UK and overseas. You build it. You wire it. You test it. You help bring it to life.
The Role
You’ll be part of the team building bespoke automated machinery from the ground up. Taking electrical schematics and drawings, you’ll turn them into working systems. You’ll be involved throughout the electrical build, working alongside the wider engineering team to make sure machinery is assembled, wired, tested and ready to go. And your involvement doesn’t necessarily finish when the machine leaves the workshop. You’ll also support installations at customer sites in the UK and overseas, giving you the chance to see the equipment you’ve helped build operating in the real world.
What You’ll Be Doing
Your day-to-day will cover a good mix of electrical assembly, wiring, testing and fault finding. You’ll install electrical components and wiring from schematic diagrams, prepare cable routes and support systems, and work with pneumatic components and pipework. Once a build is coming together, you’ll carry out pre-commissioning checks and testing, identify any faults or problems and make the necessary repairs or corrections. There’ll also be opportunities to get out of the workshop and support machinery installations at customer premises in the UK and overseas. In short, you’re not being brought in to do one tiny part of the process. You’ll get your hands on much more of the machine.
What They’re Looking For
They’re not looking for somebody who just knows the theory. They need someone with proper hands-on electrical fitting, assembly or wiring experience who is comfortable getting stuck into a machine build. You’ll need to be confident reading electrical schematics, using electrical and hand tools, testing your own work and fault finding when something isn’t right. Experience around automation, industrial machinery or manufacturing equipment would be particularly relevant, along with experience working with pneumatic systems and drawings. A relevant electrical qualification, vocational training or apprenticeship background is expected. You’ll also need to be comfortable with UK and overseas travel when required.
The Important Bit
Up to £33,800. Based near Bungay. Bespoke automation machinery. Proper hands-on electrical work. UK and overseas installations.
You could keep doing the same electrical work every week. Or you could build machines you’ll actually want to see switched on. Apply now and we’ll tell you the bits a job advert can’t.
