  • Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills
  • Electrical qualifications such as City & Guilds 236 (Parts 1,2,3) and 18th Edition are highly beneficial
  • Engineers with a single bias but keen to develop into a fully multi-skilled role are encouraged to apply

The details

  • Salary: £49,000 – £53,000 depending on experience
  • Shift: 12-hour continental shift pattern (days, nights & weekends)
