Electrical & Automation Technician (m/f/d)

About the role

We are looking for a hands-on Electrical & Automation Technician who enjoys taking a project from an electrical schematic to a fully assembled and working control panel.

You will design, build, wire and commission compact control cabinets containing power supplies, PCs, a safety PLC and relays. You will also develop and test the PLC programs required to operate these systems.

This is a practical role combining electrical design, panel assembly and automation not a purely desk-based engineering or software development position.

• Electrical design: Create electrical schematics, cabinet layouts, bills of materials and terminal plans. Select and size components, power supplies, wiring and protective devices.
• Panel assembly and wiring: Install components, prepare and route cables, wire terminals and label equipment. Build well-organised panels that are easy to inspect and maintain.
• PLC programming: Develop, modify and troubleshoot small PLC applications. Implement safety-related logic based on defined and approved safety requirements.
• Testing and commissioning: Carry out electrical checks and functional tests within your qualifications and authorisation. Diagnose faults and coordinate safety-related testing and validation with the responsible internal or external specialist.
• Documentation and improvements: Maintain accurate as-built drawings, software backups and test records. Improve designs to make future builds simpler and more consistent.
