Join Our Growing Engineering Team
Wills HVAC Services is a specialist provider of HVAC controls, electrical control panels and building automation solutions, delivering projects for commercial customers throughout the UK.
Due to continued growth, we are looking for an experienced and reliable Control Panel Builder to join our panel team at our Burnley office.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in electrical engineering, panel building, electrical installation or a similar role who is looking to develop their skills and progress within a growing business.
We are particularly interested in candidates who have completed a Level 2 or Level 3 electrical/engineering qualification, or who have gained relevant practical experience, for example as an Electrician's Mate, Electrical Improver or Panel Wireman/woman.
For the right person, there is genuine opportunity to develop your skills and progress within the business.
The Role
Working as part of our control panel team, you will be responsible for building and wiring electrical control panels for commercial HVAC and building control systems.
You will work from electrical drawings and wiring diagrams to produce high-quality control panels, ensuring all work is completed accurately, safely and to the required standard.
The role will also involve supporting our engineers with panel installation and commissioning work on customer sites when required.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who takes pride in their work, has good attention to detail and wants to develop their electrical and controls knowledge.
