Electrical / Mechanical Labour Support – £17.88-£21.57 p/h (dependant on experience) | Plymouth | 6 months

Join one of the UK’s most prestigious engineering projects at Devonport Dockyard in Plymouth. We’re looking for Level 2/3 engineers in Electrical or Mechanical to support major onboard ships with upkeeping duties and help keep them operational during deep maintenance periods.

This 6-month contract offers up to £21.57 p/hr, with a 35-hour workweek (Mon–Fri, early finish Fridays). The successful candidate will be responsible for assisting to maintain electrical and mechanical systems onboard vessels in deep maintenance periods and contributing to the regeneration of systems and equipment to full operational condition ready for tests and trials by:

• Conducting maintenance of dedicated mechanical and electrical systems
• Reporting on system equipment and condition to ensure stakeholder awareness for future operation
• Rectifying defect of equipment

If you’re time-served, hold a relevant Level 2/3 qualification, and have experience in marine or heavy engineering environments, we want to hear from you. Prior experience with ships, submarines, or commercial vessels is highly desirable but not essential.

This is a great opportunity to contribute to projects of national significance.

Candidates will need to go through BPSS clearance.
