Apply for this role

We are looking for a precise, methodical and practical technician with a sound understanding of complete switchgear assemblies. You will carry out factory testing, complete commissioning at customer sites and perform basic maintenance. Your work makes the switchgear ready for delivery: confirming that it operates as intended, preventing customer issues and enabling project completion and invoicing.

01 / YOUR CONTRIBUTION

What you will do.

At the factory · approximately 70–80%

Distribution switchgear testing

  • Test LV/MV distribution switchgear: Power Centers, secondary distribution boards, MCCs and LSC2A / LSC2B MV switchgear.
  • Check conformity with electrical diagrams, wiring, bills of materials and panel layouts.
  • Carry out end-of-line electrical tests and measurements: continuity, insulation, wiring accuracy, auxiliary circuit operation, interlocks, controls and indications.
  • Identify faults, manage non-conformities and work with manufacturing and engineering to resolve them.
  • Prepare test reports and delivery documentation.

At customer sites · approximately 20–30%

Commissioning and basic maintenance

  • Commission switchgear at customer sites: pre-energisation checks, functional checks, completion of assembly and start-up support.
  • Perform basic maintenance: periodic and functional checks, circuit breaker replacement, adjustments and fault diagnosis, escalating internally when needed.
  • Close each service visit with a clear report on equipment condition, work performed and recommended actions.

02 / THE SKILLS THAT MATTER

What you bring.

  • Read and use single-line and multi-line electrical diagrams, terminal layouts and wiring diagrams.
  • Understand switchgear mechanics, including enclosures and busbar systems.
  • Work methodically, with traceability and attention to safety, using checklists and repeatable tests.
  • Use field and test equipment, including multimeters and insulation and continuity testers.
  • Take a practical approach: identify what is missing from an assembly and act to complete it and move delivery forward.

03 / THE VALUE OF YOUR WORK

Where you make a difference.

Verified, documented switchgear, faults resolved before delivery and clearly completed site work. Testing turns the whole team’s work into a solution ready to enter service.

04 / THE ENVIRONMENT AND TERMS

What you find at ICEL.

A business established in 1935, with production value more than doubling between 2021 and 2025. In-house engineering and manufacturing, autonomy with clear objectives and access to AI tools. An established, structured environment where you work alongside experienced industry professionals every day.
