  • Support installation, commissioning, and requalification of new or upgraded equipment, including wiring, functional checks, and handover to production.
  • Calibrate and verify measurement equipment and production test rigs/fixtures to ensure operation within required specifications and traceability requirements.
  • Interpret and work from engineering drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, specifications, and technical manuals.
  • Assist with equipment improvements to enhance reliability, safety, and maintainability (e.g., control panels, PLC I/O, interlocks, E-stop circuits, preventative maintenance optimisation).
  • Maintain accurate documentation including maintenance records, fault reports, calibration logs, and equipment history; escalate recurring issues with clear evidence.
  • Work collaboratively with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to support continuous improvement, change control, and production targets.
  • Ensure all work complies with site safety requirements and relevant quality/compliance expectations typical of medical device environments.

About You

  • Qualification: Diploma (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or Engineering Technology.
  • Experience: Hands-on experience maintaining and troubleshooting electrical/electronic systems in a manufacturing, production, or test environment (med-tech experience advantageous).
  • Technical capability: Strong fault-finding skills across power, control, and instrumentation circuits; confident using test equipment (e.g., multimeters, oscilloscopes where applicable) and reading schematics/wiring diagrams.
  • Calibration and quality: Comfortable following procedures, recording results accurately, and supporting calibration/verification activities with attention to detail and traceability.
  • Safety mindset: Demonstrated commitment to safe work practices, including isolation/LOTO and working to site and regulatory requirements.
  • Ways of working: Proactive, organised, and collaborative; able to communicate clearly with engineers, technicians, and production teams.
  • Desirable: Current driver’s licence; forklift/EWP/confined space licences are beneficial depending on site requirements.
