We are working with a leading engineering organisation seeking a skilled Electrical Technician with strong experience in Medium Voltage (MV) switchgear systems.

In this role, you will be responsible for testing, commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting of MV equipment both in a workshop environment and on-site.

This position is ideal for someone who is hands-on, detail-oriented, and safety-focused, with flexibility to travel when required.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out electrical testing of MV switchgear, including:

• Dielectric testing

• Mechanical testing

• Leak testing

• Contact resistance measurements

• Primary & secondary injection

• Relay testing

• Partial discharge diagnostics

• Perform commissioning, preventive maintenance, and corrective repairs on MV switchgear and protection systems

• Diagnose and resolve faults within MV electrical systems

• Ensure full compliance with safety standards and industry regulations

• Prepare detailed test and service reports

• Provide on-site technical support during installation and system integration

• Collaborate with engineering teams to improve system performance and reliability

• Completed technical training or degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, or similar

• Proven experience working with MV or HV systems (10kV+) – ideally switchgear, but also open to transformers, motors, or coils

• Hands-on experience with testing and commissioning of MV switchgear is highly desirable

• Familiarity with testing equipment such as OMICRON, Megger, or similar

• Knowledge of protection systems (relays, CTs, PTs, circuit breakers, interlocks) is beneficial

• Good English skills (German is a plus, not essential)

• Strong problem-solving and fault-finding ability

• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics

• Valid EU work authorisation

• Willingness to travel (approx. up to 15%, domestic & international)

• Opportunity to work on technically advanced MV systems

• International exposure through project-based travel

• Stable, long-term position within a growing engineering environment

• Collaborative and supportive team culture
