Electro-Mechanical Engineer (Multi-Skilled - Electrical Bias)
Cheltenham | Days Only, No Shifts | Up to £45,000 (DOE)
Are you a skilled Electro-Mechanical Engineer looking for a primarily electrical role that is a varied and hands-on position where no two days are the same?
Our client is a highly respected manufacturer of precision machinery, supplying specialist equipment to customers across the UK and internationally. Due to continued growth and increasing customer demand, they are looking to recruit a talented and motivated Electro-Mechanical Engineer to join their engineering team based in Cheltenham.
This is a rare and excellent opportunity for a practical engineer who enjoys working across both electrical and mechanical disciplines, taking projects from assembly and build through to commissioning, installation, and customer support.
The Opportunity
This role offers the chance to work on bespoke, high-precision machinery within a professional engineering environment. You'll play a key role in the complete machine build process, working closely with engineering documentation and drawings to ensure equipment is assembled, wired, tested, and commissioned to the highest standards.
The position would suit a multi-skilled engineer with an electrical and mechanical skill set, although candidates with a stronger electrical bias and some mechanical experiences are particularly encouraged to apply due to the nature of the work being mostly electrical.
Beyond the workshop, you'll have the opportunity to represent the business at customer sites throughout the UK and occasionally overseas, carrying out installations, commissioning activities, servicing, and technical support.
Key Responsibilities
As an Electro-Mechanical Engineer, your duties will include:
Machine Build & Assembly
- Mechanical assembly and final build of bespoke machines
- Working from detailed engineering drawings, assembly instructions, and technical documentation
- Fitting and aligning mechanical components to exact specifications
- Assisting in machine modifications and continuous improvement activities
