Put your electrical expertise to work in renewable power generation. Are you an experienced Electrical Technician, Electrical Maintenance Engineer or Industrial Electrician looking for a technically varied role with an excellent benefits package?
Would you enjoy working independently across power generation sites, diagnosing electrical faults and maintaining HV and LV equipment, switchgear, transformers and generators?
RecruitME is working with an established UK renewable power generation business to recruit an Electrical Field Technician to support electrical maintenance and reliability across its regional sites.
This is an opportunity to join an experienced engineering team, working with a wide range of electrical equipment while helping to maximise plant availability and operational performance.

You don't need previous renewable energy experience to be considered.

We're particularly interested in electrically qualified professionals from power generation, industrial manufacturing, utilities, electricity distribution, steel production and other industrial engineering environments.
If you enjoy fault finding, solving technical problems and taking ownership of your work, this could be an excellent next career move.
The Opportunity As an Electrical Field Technician, you'll be responsible for planned and reactive maintenance across a portfolio of operational power generation facilities. Working alongside regional and national electrical engineering colleagues, you'll diagnose faults, complete repairs, coordinate specialist contractors and support improvements in equipment reliability.
You'll work with a range of electrical systems and equipment, including:
High-voltage and low-voltage electrical installations.
Electrical switchgear and distribution systems.
Transformers and associated electrical infrastructure.
Generators and alternators.
Industrial electrical control systems and associated plant equipment.
This is a hands-on, mobile engineering position offering technical variety, independence and the opportunity to develop your experience within renewable power generation.
What You'll Be Doing
Electrical Maintenance: Carry out planned and reactive maintenance on industrial electrical equipment across multiple operational sites.
Fault Finding: Diagnose and resolve electrical faults, helping minimise downtime and maximise plant reliability.
HV and LV Systems: Work safely with high-voltage and low-voltage electrical equipment, including switchgear, transformers and generators, within your competence and authorisation.
Generator Support: Assist with the safe isolation and disconnection of alternators before planned engine maintenance and rebuild activities.
Contractor Coordination: Support specialist electrical contractors, including site inductions, safety documentation and supervision of relevant work.
Reliability Improvements: Identify recurring faults, recommend improvements and support initiatives to improve plant availability.
Health and Safety: Follow electrical safety procedures, safe systems of work and relevant environmental and operational requirements.
Technical Reporting: Maintain accurate maintenance records, complete work documentation and provide regular progress updates.
Team Support: Work with regional engineering colleagues and contribute to the wider electrical maintenance function.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for a technically capable Electrical Technician who enjoys working with industrial electrical equipment and has the confidence to investigate and resolve faults independently.
NVQ Level 3, BTEC ONC/HNC or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering or a relevant electrical discipline.
Proven experience maintaining, diagnosing and repairing industrial electrical equipment.
Working knowledge of BS 7671 / 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.
Ability to read, understand and interpret electrical drawings and technical documentation.
Knowledge and practical experience of operating high-voltage switchgear.
Strong electrical fault-finding and problem-solving capabilities.
Experience working safely with industrial electrical equipment and associated maintenance procedures.
Ability to manage your workload independently while contributing to a wider engineering team.
Good communication, organisational and technical reporting skills.
Confidence using laptops, mobile devices and maintenance applications.
Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel regularly across the region.
This is a hands-on, mobile engineering position offering technical variety, independence and the opportunity to develop your experience within renewable power generation.

Desirable Experience
Working with generators, alternators or associated electrical equipment.
Experience with HV switching procedures and electrical isolation.
Maintaining electrical equipment across multiple industrial sites.
Coordinating contractors undertaking specialist electrical work.
Previous generator experience is desirable, not essential.
Ready for Your Next Challenge?
If you're an experienced Electrical Technician, Electrical Maintenance Engineer, Industrial Electrician or Field Service Technician looking for a technically interesting position with excellent benefits, we'd like to hear from you.
Whether you're already working in power generation or looking to bring your electrical maintenance experience from another industrial sector into renewable energy, this could be an excellent next step. xwzovoh
