Electrical, Control & Instrumentation Engineer – Energy from Waste

£60,000 – £65,000 + annual bonus

Cardiff, South Wales

SCINERGY Recruitment are supporting a leading Energy from Waste facility in Cardiff with the appointment of an experienced Electrical, Control & Instrumentation Engineer.

Based at Trident Park, this is a major Energy Recovery Facility processing around 425,000 tonnes of waste each year, generating enough energy to power the equivalent of 98,280 homes, and helping divert 95% of South Wales’ residual waste away from landfill.

This is a key site-based role focused on plant availability, safe maintenance delivery, asset performance, and the ongoing improvement of EC&I systems across a critical operational energy facility.

What you’ll be doing day to day:

Taking responsibility for EC&I engineering and maintenance across the plant, ensuring electrical, control and instrumentation systems are maintained to a high standard and support long-term site availability.
Coordinating, scheduling and planning maintenance activity across planned and unplanned shutdowns, including work on key systems such as HV equipment, CEMS and associated plant infrastructure.
Managing the EC&I maintenance workshop, supporting technicians and apprentices, and working closely with mechanical, operations and central engineering teams to deliver robust engineering solutions.
Ensuring the maintenance management system is used effectively, statutory inspections are completed, documentation is kept up to date, and plant modifications follow the correct engineering change process.
Maintaining a strong focus on health, safety and environmental standards, including safe systems of work, contractor control, site inductions and ensuring all activities are carried out safely and compliantly.
What you’ll need:

Strong EC&I maintenance experience gained within a power, process, Energy from Waste, heavy industrial or similar operational plant environment.
A HNC/ONC or equivalent engineering qualification, with the skills and experience to work on LV and HV electrical systems. Senior Authorised Person capability would be highly desirable.
A good working knowledge of electrical, controls and instrumentation equipment, including repair methods, preventative maintenance systems and fault-finding on critical plant assets.
Experience working with Distributed Control Systems such as Siemens, Valmet or similar, alongside a solid understanding of plant isolations, permit systems and safe systems of work.
Previous experience supervising technicians, contractors or maintenance teams, with the ability to coordinate work activity and support delivery against agreed KPIs.
