The Role Site Services Engineer
As a Site Services Engineer with a strong electrical bias, you will play a key role in maintaining and supporting the electrical infrastructure across a large-scale manufacturing site.
This is a hands-on position suited to an electrician or electrical maintenance engineer who enjoys fault-finding, preventative maintenance and taking ownership of critical site services.
You will be responsible for ensuring electrical systems remain safe, compliant and operational, while also supporting the wider engineering team across essential site services.
Key Responsibilities
- Carrying out electrical maintenance, fault-finding and repairs across the site
- Maintaining and monitoring LV and HV electrical systems
- Diagnosing electrical faults and responding to breakdowns to minimise production and site downtime
- Reading and interpreting electrical drawings and schematics
- Completing planned preventative maintenance and statutory inspections
- Supporting the maintenance and compliance of site-wide services including boilers, steam, HVAC, refrigeration, compressors, air handling and water treatment
- Working with AC systems, FGAS-related equipment and other electrically powered plant
- Ensuring electrical systems and associated documentation remain compliant with current legislation and company standards
- Maintaining accurate records, permits and compliance documentation.
- Acting as a key engineering contact during audits, inspections and compliance reviews
- Working closely with production, engineering and external contractors to ensure site services remain safe and reliable
This is a genuinely hands-on electrical engineering role, with opportunities to develop your knowledge across a wide range of industrial site services.
To be successful in this role, you'll ideally have:
- A recognised Electrical qualification
- Previous experience as an Electrician, Electrical Maintenance Engineer, or Electrical Engineer within an industrial/manufacturing environment
- Strong electrical fault-finding and diagnostic skills
- The ability to confidently read and interpret electrical drawings and schematics
- Experience working with HV/LV electrical systems would be highly advantageous
- Experience with industrial site services such as HVAC, compressors, boilers, refrigeration or steam
- A strong understanding of electrical safety and compliance
- The ability to work independently and take ownership of electrical issues from diagnosis through to resolution
- Food manufacturing/FMCG experience would be beneficial but is not essential
Whether you're an experienced industrial electrician looking to step into a broader engineering role, or an electrical maintenance engineer looking for greater responsibility, this is an excellent opportunity to develop your career.
Why Apply?
- £51,588 salary
- Profit Related Pay
- 7% employer pension contribution
- Private healthcare
- Life assurance
- Panama Day Shift
- No nights or rotating shifts
- Additional training and development opportunities
- Opportunity to broaden your expertise across HV, site services, HVAC, gas, legionella and air handling
