  • Configure and optimise drive parameters and control functions.
  • Provide technical support and training to customers on-site.
  • Support emergency breakdowns and planned maintenance programmes.

Desirable skills/knowledge

  • Experience working with three-phase electrical systems.
  • Good understanding of AC motors, variable speed drives and inverter technology.
  • Ability to fault-find on motor control circuits and control panels.
  • Experience commissioning and servicing industrial electrical equipment.
  • Knowledge of HVAC plant, AHUs, chillers, pumps, compressors, or industrial process equipment would be advantageous.
  • Full UK driving licence.

Package

  • £35,000 - £50,000 basic salary (depending on experience)

  • Company van (personal use possible)

  • Ongoing technical training and development

This is an excellent opportunity for a service engineer, electrical engineer or drives engineer looking to develop their expertise within a specialist field while working on a diverse range of critical industrial and commercial applications.
