At Calder Industrial Materials, we specialise in the design and manufacture of high\-quality lead products.
With over 200 years of expertise, we provide precise engineering and building solutions for the defence, energy, nuclear, industrial and healthcare sectors for customers in the UK, Europe, and worldwide.
We are all about our people and it is our collaborative approach which sets us apart from the rest with plenty of opportunities for training, career development and support for our employees on offer.
Due to growth, we have a fantastic opportunity for a Electrical Maintenance Engineer to join our friendly Maintenance and Engineering Team.
Reliability, dedication and a strong work ethic are fundamental character traits we are always looking for with further cross\-training provided.
In order to be successful in the application process for the Electrical Maintenance Engineer role, you will need to have:
- Industrial electrical fundamentals: 3‑phase motors, protection, earthing, control circuits, panels/MCCBs.
- Proven troubleshooting on PLC\-controlled machines; Mitsubishi GX Works and Siemens TIA Portal experience preferred.
- Ability to read and update electrical schematics.
- Solid understanding of diagnostics and parameters and ability to capture evidence and implement controlled changes.
- Hydraulics exposure: pressure/flow reasoning, contamination effects, safe depressurisation / accumulator awareness.
- Manufacturing mindset: structured problem solving under pressure; good communication with production/maintenance.
- Positive ‘ can do’ working attitude
- Ability to work effectively as part of a team
- Good attention to detail and quality standards
- A practical, hands\-on approach to work
- Due to the nature of the role, good general health
- Diagnose and resolve electrical/control faults safely (including intermittent faults) to restore production.
- Troubleshoot Mitsubishi and Siemens PLC\-controlled machinery: I/O, sequences, alarms and comms.
- Support and fault\-find drives (VFD/servo): trip analysis, torque/current limits, accel/decel, PID loops etc
- Support electro\-hydraulic systems: pressure/flow loss, drift, overheating, cavitation, contamination, internal leakage, and their PLC symptoms (timeouts/chatter/analog instability).
- Maintain compliance: LOTO/isolation (electrical \+ hydraulic \+ thermal), guarding/interlocks, and functional proving tests.
- Support LEV/extraction compliance: ensure correct interlocks, sensor health, and alarm response; use trends to improve reliability.
- Deliver RCA/CI, implement preventive actions to reduce repeat stops and scrap.
- Commission modifications/upgrades; complete I/O checks, interlock proving, controlled trials and verification.
- Maintain documentation/change control: PLC backups/versioning, parameter logs, and up\-to\-date as\-built electrical/hydraulic drawings.
- Work effectively across shifts with strong handover: current status, actions taken, what changed, risks, and next steps.
