Electrician

Electrician

Location: Higher Brocks Plantation, Teigngrace, Newton Abbot, Devon, TQ12 6QZ
Hours of work: 40 hours per week, working Monday to Friday 7:30am – 4:30pm
Salary: £36,805.33 per annum

If you’re an experienced Electrician who enjoys the problem‑solving side of industrial work, and you’d quite like to build a life in Devon rather than just visit it on holiday, this could be a strong next move.

This role is ideal for Electricians from manufacturing, heavy industry or process‑plant environments who want long‑term stability, proper training, and a better work–life balance than the usual shift‑based world.

Why this role exists

Imerys operate complex fixed‑plant equipment that simply can’t run without reliable Electrical support. The team need another skilled Electrician to help keep the site running safely, efficiently, and with fewer unplanned stoppages. If you prefer a role where your decisions and experience genuinely make a difference, you’ll feel at home here.

What you’ll be doing

• Providing Electrical support across fixed plant and key equipment

• Carrying out planned and reactive maintenance to keep plant availability high

• Fault‑finding and resolving Electrical issues with a logical approach

• Completing risk assessments and maintaining high safety standards

• Working in confined spaces and at height (so you’ll need to be comfortable with both)

If your background includes manufacturing, quarrying, mining, aggregates, chemical, food production or similar process environments, you’ll recognise the pace and expectations straightaway.

Working at Imerys

At Imerys, people genuinely matter. The focus on safety is clear, and there’s a strong culture of learning and development. They invest in upskilling their teams, which means you’ll have opportunities to grow your capability and progress your career over time.

What’s in it for you?

• Equivalent of 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays (pro rata for shift workers)

• Generous Pension Plan

• Life Assurance

• Income Protection

• Company Sick Pay

• Discounts on external retailers

• Cycle‑to‑work scheme

Wellbeing support includes:

• Employee Assistance Programme

• Virtual GP

• Flu and eye‑care vouchers

• Enhanced family‑friendly policies

• Menopause support

• Private Medical Health Plan

What you’ll need

• NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering

• 18th Edition Wiring Regulations preferable but not essential

• Full UK driving licence

• Experience working on industrial fixed plant

If you’re practical, safety‑minded, and confident in Electrical fault‑finding, you’ll settle in quickly.

Thinking about life in Devon?

With coastline, countryside and space to breathe, Devon offers a lifestyle many industrial sites simply can’t match. If you’re ready to relocate for a better quality of life — without stepping away from interesting engineering work — this is worth a look.
