Electrical Multiskilled Engineer

Renewable Energy | £45,000-£47,500 | MondayFriday | Day Shift

  • On-call rota (paid)
  • Company pension, life assurance & health cash plan

  • Electrical testing, repair and installation
  • Mechanical maintenance (pumps, valves, rotating equipment)
  • SCADA monitoring and process fault investigation

  • Stable MondayFriday structure (rare in plant engineering roles)
  • Work within a mission-led renewable energy business
