Electrician

Overview

This is a hands-on, varied Electrical Technician role supporting a wide range of engineering, laboratory, and infrastructure activities within an innovative fusion technology environment.

You'll work across multiple engineering projects rather than a single production line, contributing to control systems, power distribution, fault finding, installations, and commissioning. The role suits someone who is adaptable, practical, and able to work independently while tackling a variety of technical challenges.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys problem-solving, working in diverse technical environments, and developing their electrical engineering skills on cutting-edge fusion technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with the design, layout, installation, and commissioning of control panels and control systems.
• Assemble, install, and maintain electrical systems, panels, and associated equipment.
• Carry out fault finding and troubleshooting on control systems, power supplies, and electrical infrastructure.
• Work on low-voltage mains-powered systems, including distribution boards and final circuits.
• Install and maintain cable containment systems such as tray, conduit, and trunking.
• Install and support data networks, associated cabling, and equipment.
• Perform testing and commissioning of electrical equipment and infrastructure.
• Respond to electrical breakdowns and emergency repairs.
• Collaborate with engineers, technicians, and contractors on larger engineering projects.
• Maintain safe working practices, identify risks, and ensure tools and materials are available when required.

What Makes This Role Different

• Highly varied work in a research and engineering environment rather than a production line.
• Exposure to both control systems and mains electrical infrastructure.
• Practical, hands-on role across laboratories, workshops, and technical facilities.
• Opportunity to work on bespoke electrical systems rather than standard installations.
• Daily involvement in projects requiring problem-solving and adaptability.
• Contribute to the development of advanced fusion technologies.

Essential Experience & Skills

• Electrical apprenticeship or equivalent practical training and experience.
• Experience working safely with low-voltage (LV) electrical systems.
• Ability to test, fault-find, and maintain electrical systems.
• Experience with control systems, control panels, or similar electrical assemblies.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings and schematics.
• Good understanding of electrical health and safety practices.
• Comfortable working in a practical, hands-on engineering environment.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and able to work with minimal supervision.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.

Desirable

• 18th Edition (BS 7671).
• Inspection and Testing qualification (2391).
• Experience working in engineering, R&D, or other complex technical environments.
• Additional certifications such as MEWP, PASMA, PAT, or similar.
• Professional registration (e.g. EngTech) or working towards it.
• Experience in industrial environments involving control systems.
