A safety-critical operator is looking to appoint an EC&I Technician to support a busy fuel storage/terminal environment. You'll take ownership of reactive and planned maintenance across essential electrical and control systems, helping keep assets safe, compliant, and available.
This role covers a broad range of equipment including electrical distribution, motors, drives, switchgear, MCC/control panels, instrumentation and associated control systems. You'll also provide first-line maintenance support for the site's BPCS (Basic Process Control System) and related hardware.
While the position is primarily site-based in Scotland, you may be asked to support other UK locations from time to time, so a full UK driving licence is required. Overtime may be available during weekdays and weekends (not mandatory).
Key responsibilities
- Deliver day-to-day electrical maintenance and technical support to operations in a high-hazard environment.
- Diagnose faults, carry out effective repairs, and document work completed to the required standard.
- Complete routine inspections and checks across electrical systems, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and standards.
- Work safely and efficiently on both planned preventative maintenance and breakdown maintenance, including troubleshooting and defined repair scopes.
- Support compliance with site rules and best practice for hazardous areas and safety-critical work (e.g., COMAH/DSEAR/EAWR/HASAWA where applicable).
- Work collaboratively with colleagues and contractors; where required, supervise other operatives and take responsibility for job completion.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying recurring issues and proposing practical solutions.
- Training will be provided where there are skills gaps, including on any site-specific instrumentation or maintenance systems.

You'll be a qualified engineering technician with a recognised apprenticeship (or equivalent structured training) and strong hands-on EC&I experience.
