Electrical Instrumentation Technician

Are you an experienced, hands‑on E/I Technician looking for a stable Monday–Friday role with no shifts or call-outs? We’re working closely with a well‑established manufacturing site in the Cwmbran area that is expanding its maintenance capability and looking for someone who enjoys practical instrumentation work in a planned‑maintenance environment. This is a great opportunity to join a supportive engineering team where your skills will make a real impact. You’ll be part of a wider maintenance team of around 16, focusing primarily on instrumentation work (around 75%) with some electrical responsibilities (around 25%). The site is well‑organised, safety‑driven, and operates with a strong planned‑maintenance culture. Your responsibilities will include: Diagnosing and resolving instrumentation and electrical faults during plant issues Installing, commissioning, and maintaining control and measurement systems (pressure, level, temperature etc.) Calibrating instrumentation using modern tools and software Working on hazardous‑area equipment in line with relevant regulations Supporting electrical tasks such as 415V motor work, lighting, and cable management Keeping accurate maintenance records and updating engineering drawings when required The ideal candidate is practical, hands‑on, and enjoys being involved in day‑to‑day instrumentation work rather than high‑level engineering or design. You’ll be able to demonstarte the following experience: A time‑served apprenticeship or qualification in electrical or instrumentation Strong fault‑finding skills and a methodical approach Hands‑on experience in an industrial, manufacturing, or process environment A commitment to safe working and high‑quality standards The ability to work independently and as part of a team Experience with systems such as SAP or calibration software (training can be provided) Nice to have: DSEAR/ATEX or explosive‑atmosphere experience Apprenticeship background Broader exposure to hazardous‑area equipment A few extra details:  Monday–Friday days (8am–4pm), no shifts, no call‑outs Stable, well‑run site with strong investment in maintenance Supportive team of 16 with a collaborative culture Planned‑maintenance environment rather than constant firefighting Immediate start available due to a backfill requirement If you’re looking for a hands‑on E/I role with great work‑life balance and long‑term stability, we’d love to hear from you.
