This is working with a specialist Electrical, Control & Instrumentation (EC&I) contractor, delivering inspection, compliance, and maintenance services across high-risk environments including chemical, energy and process sectors.

• Process / chemical / manufacturing setting
• Strict safety, permit and compliance systems
• Long-term programme of inspection and maintenance works

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience working in hazardous areas on industrial or process sites

• Ability to carry out detailed condition assessments and reporting
• Confident working independently and as part of a wider EC&I team

Essential:

• CompEx 01–04 (minimum)

• Experience on chemical, petrochemical, energy or heavy industrial sites

Pay Rates

• £32.00 – £40.00 per hour (depending on experience and inspection capability)

• Weekly pay
• CIS or LTD payment options available

Why Apply?

• Long-term, stable work on a well-run industrial site
• Opportunity to work with a specialist EC&I contractor operating across complex, hazardous environments
• Consistent pipeline of work rather than short shutdown-only roles
