This is a fantastic chance to join an established engineering business working on bespoke industrial equipment, building and wiring a wide range of control panels in a varied workshop environment. With small-batch production and high levels of customisation, no two builds are quite the same.

· Experienced in wire selection, crimping, ferrule termination, cable routing and general panel wiring practices.

· Good understanding of both AC and DC control systems, with a careful and methodical approach to electrical assembly.

Benefits Package:

· Competitive salary based on experience, with overtime generally available at 1.5x the standard hourly rate.

· 39-hour Monday to Friday working week with an early finish on Fridays.

· 20 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 26 days with length of service.
