The roleA safety-critical operator is looking to appoint an EC&I Technician to support a busy fuel storage/terminal environment. You'll take ownership of reactive and planned maintenance across essential electrical and control systems, helping keep assets safe, compliant, and available.
This role covers a broad range of equipment including electrical distribution, motors, drives, switchgear, MCC/control panels, instrumentation and associated control systems. You'll also provide first-line maintenance support for the site's BPCS (Basic Process Control System) and related hardware.
While the position is primarily site-based in Scotland, you may be asked to support other UK locations from time to time, so a full UK driving licence is required.

Work safely and efficiently on both planned preventative maintenance and breakdown maintenance, including troubleshooting and defined repair scopes.
Support compliance with site rules and best practice for hazardous areas and safety-critical work (e.g., COMAH/DSEAR/EAWR/HASAWA where applicable).
Work collaboratively with colleagues and contractors; where required, supervise other operatives and take responsibility for job completion.
Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying recurring issues and proposing practical solutions.
Training will be provided where there are skills gaps, including on any site-specific instrumentation or maintenance systems.
About youYou'll be a qualified engineering technician with a recognised apprenticeship (or equivalent structured training) and strong hands-on EC&I experience. You're calm under pressure, methodical in fault-finding, and committed to safe working and high-quality workmanship-especially in reactive situations where time and safety are critical.
