Hands-on electrical, control and instrumentation support across an established site.

Are you a time-served electrician with instrumentation experience, looking for a role where you're on the tools, keeping real plant running, and no two days look the same?

We're recruiting an EC&I Technician to join our Engineering team in East Kilbride. This role is centred on supporting and maintaining our existing electrical infrastructure — 415V motors, control panels, distribution and instrumentation — and on making sure that infrastructure is properly documented, drawn and understood. You'll also play an important part when new equipment arrives on site: supporting commissioning, coordinating the contractors carrying out the work, and ensuring what gets installed is tested, signed off and accurately recorded.

The role:

Day to day, you could be:

*

Carrying out planned and reactive maintenance on existing electrical, control and instrumentation systems

*

Working hands-on with 415V three-phase equipment, including motors, starters, isolators, distribution boards and control panels

*

Fault finding and diagnosing issues across electrical systems, instrumentation, PLCs and HMIs

*

Producing and updating electrical drawings, schematics and P&IDs in AutoCAD, including accurate as-built records for installed infrastructure

*

Maintaining asset records, panel schedules, test records and maintenance documentation

*

Supporting the commissioning of new installations — testing, witnessing, checking work against specification and making sure the documentation reflects what has actually been installed

*

Managing and coordinating contractors on site: inductions, permits to work, isolations, quality checks and sign-off

*

Carrying out small installation and modification works, including wiring, terminations and panel work

*

Handling general facility electrical tasks such as lighting, sockets and minor repairs

*

Ensuring all work meets health and safety standards and relevant industry regulations

This is a support and maintenance role rather than a design position — you'll be the person who knows the installed infrastructure inside out, keeps it running, and holds contractors to the right standard.

What we're looking for:

Someone who takes pride in their work, communicates clearly, and works well as part of a team. You'll need the attention to detail to keep drawings and records accurate and up to date, the confidence to hold contractors to standard, and you'll be equally comfortable with a set of tools in your hand.

What you'll need:

*

A recognised Electrical/Instrumentation apprenticeship

*

18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations certification

*

Proven hands-on experience working on 415V equipment, including motors and control panels

*

Strong electrical and instrumentation maintenance and fault-finding experience on established plant or facilities

*

AutoCAD skills, with the ability to produce and maintain accurate electrical drawings and P&IDs for installed infrastructure

*

A methodical approach to documentation and record keeping

*

Confidence working alongside and coordinating contractors, including permits to work and safe isolation

*

Good PC literacy and confidence with engineering software

*

Experience working within an engineering team

Where we can offer in training:

If you have solid electrical and instrumentation skills but less exposure to control systems, we'd still like to hear from you. For the right candidate we can provide training in:

*

PLC fault finding and diagnostics (Siemens focus)

*

HMI and industrial control systems

*

Industrial communication protocols

*

CompEx 1–4 certification

* The hands-on electrical experience and documentation discipline are essential; the control systems knowledge can be built.

What we offer:

*

A minimum of 33 days holiday for full-time employees, including public holidays

*

Contributory Group Personal Pension Plan

*

Non-contributory Group Life Assurance Scheme

*

Salary Exchange/Sacrifice schemes, including buying and selling holiday, cycle to work and pensions

*

Incentive schemes

*

Comprehensive wellbeing support, including an Employee Assistance Programme, Dental Scheme and Occupational Health services
