Role Overview:
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.
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.
Day to day tasks:
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
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.
Essential Skills/ Education:
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
Training Opportunities:
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.
Benifits 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
