About the Role

Cubed Talent is proud to be partnering with a well-established engineering business that specialises in the design, build and testing of high-speed production machinery. As they continue to grow, they're looking for a skilled Electrical Test Engineer to join their assembly team and play a key part in bringing complex machines to life.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on electrical engineer who enjoys variety, problem solving, and seeing a machine through from build to customer buy-off.

What you'll be doing

  • Programming, building and testing electrical sub-assemblies and complete machines
  • Carrying out testing and wiring modifications as required
  • Fault finding and problem solving - identifying, rectifying and documenting mods, changes and faults
  • Downloading PLC and HMI, and making minor software changes to both as needed
  • Setting up new out-the-box PLCs, drives, HMIs and remote I/O units
  • Verifying schematic drawings in detail and feeding alterations back to Engineering
  • Strip down, PDI documentation and supporting customer buy-off

What we're looking for

  • A minimum of an NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Engineering and a HNC in the same discipline (or equivalent) - a HND would be a real advantage
  • Considerable hands-on experience in programming, testing and wiring
  • Strong technical skills, with confidence testing high-speed production machinery
  • The ability to read and interpret technical drawings
  • A team player with excellent communication skills and a genuinely approachable, can-do attitude

The package

  • Salary of £40,676
  • Annual bonus of up to £2,200
  • 33 days annual leave
  • Enhanced pension
  • Health cash plan
  • Life assurance

Hours & shift

This is a permanent, full-time position working the staggered day shift, with a 6:00am, 6:30am or 7:00am start. There's a possibility of moving onto double days in the future, so flexibility is important. Should you move onto double days, a shift allowance of 21.25% would apply (total salary would be £49,319).

Interested?

If you're an experienced Electrical Test Engineer looking for your next challenge with a business that genuinely values technical skill, we'd love to hear from you.
