Looking for a hands on EC&I role where no two days are the same and your skills directly support safe, reliable operations? Interested in joining a close knit team working across a wide range of plant and equipment within a highly regulated environment?
As an EC&I Technician at Chapelcross, you will be part of a multi disciplined maintenance team responsible for inspecting, maintaining and testing systems across the site. The role offers real variety, from routine maintenance to more complex fault finding, all within a structured environment where safety comes first.

What will you be doing
Working as part of the maintenance team, the focus will be on delivering examination, inspection, maintenance and testing activities that keep plant and equipment running safely and efficiently. Tasks will range from planned maintenance through to supporting improvements, ensuring work aligns with site schedules and statutory requirements.
The role also involves maintaining accurate records, following site procedures and contributing to continuous improvement across health, safety, environment and quality. Alongside technical delivery, there is an expectation to stay current with training requirements and continue developing your capability.
Key areas include:
- Carrying out inspection, maintenance and testing activities across electrical and instrumentation systems
- Supporting safe delivery of the plant maintenance schedule and statutory compliance
- Recording completed work accurately and maintaining clear documentation
- Contributing to health, safety and continuous improvement across the site

A collaborative approach and the ability to work effectively as part of a team are key, alongside a willingness to learn and develop new skills.
- Time served Electrician or Instrument Technician with recognised Level 3 qualifications or equivalent experience
- Experience working in a technical or industrial environment with a strong safety focus
