Join a Unique Engineering Environment
Are you an experienced Electrical Maintenance Engineer looking for a role that offers variety, responsibility, and the opportunity to work within a highly specialised operational environment?
We are looking for an Electrical Maintenance Engineer to support the maintenance and operation of facilities, infrastructure, and equipment across two sites located in the stunning West Highlands of Scotland, covering Kyle of Lochalsh and Applecross.
This is an exciting opportunity to work within a unique maritime and defence-related test and evaluation environment, supporting critical infrastructure and ensuring facilities remain safe, reliable, and operational.
The Opportunity
As part of the Estates and Facilities team, you will be responsible for delivering planned, preventative, and reactive maintenance across site buildings, plant, equipment, and services.

Key Responsibilities
- Carry out planned, preventative, and reactive maintenance activities across site infrastructure and facilities
- Diagnose faults and undertake repairs on electrical systems and associated equipment
- Support maintenance activities relating to building services, plant, and site assets
- Prioritise maintenance tasks to meet operational requirements and business needs
- Participate in an on-call rota to provide out-of-hours support when required
- Ensure all work is completed in line with health, safety, and environmental procedures
- Monitor contractor activities and ensure work is completed to the required standards
- Maintain accurate maintenance records and documentation
- Support continuous improvement initiatives across the maintenance function
