Shift Electrical Technician - West Sussex
£45,000 to £55,000 + benefits | 4 on / 4 off (Days & Nights)
If you're an electrically biased engineer who enjoys fault finding, keeping plant running and actually fixing problems (not just patching them up) — this one's worth a look.
This is a busy, hands‑on environment where no two shifts are the same.
The Role
You'll be part of a shift engineering team responsible for keeping a large‑scale automated site running efficiently.
Day-to-day, you'll be:
* Reacting to breakdowns and getting systems back online quickly
* Carrying out PPMs properly and improving plant reliability
* Fault finding across a wide range of electrical systems
* Supporting continuous improvement across the site
You’ll be working on:
* Sensors, relays, contactors, AC/DC motors
* MCC panels and control systems
* PLCs (Siemens S7 ideal, but not essential)
* Instrumentation (temperature, pressure, flow etc.)
It’s proper engineering — not just ticking boxes.
What You’ll Need
* Electrical qualification (HNC or equivalent)
* Strong fault‑finding skills
* Experience in industrial, manufacturing, automated or similar environments
* Confident reading electrical drawings
* PLC knowledge is a bonus, not a must.
Shift Pattern
* 4 on / 4 off
* 2 days (06:30 - 18:30)
* 2 nights (18:30 - 06:30)
* 4 days off
* Good work/life balance with proper downtime between rotations.
Package
* £45,000 - £55,000
* Pension
* Life cover
* Retail, leisure and travel discounts
* Ongoing training and development
Why This Role?
This is a chance to get stuck into a technically varied site where you’ll actually make an impact — not just keep things ticking over.
If you’ve worked as an Electrical Engineer, Maintenance Electrician, Shift Engineer or similar — you’ll slot straight in.
We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.
