We are working exclusively with a well-established engineering business who are looking to add an experienced Control Panel Wireman to their panel shop in Northampton.

This is a hands-on, workshop-based position producing fully bespoke BMS control panels. Every build is different – there is no repetitive production work or standard “off-the-shelf” panels. The successful candidate must be confident hitting the ground running and working independently from schematic drawings.

This role would suit a time-served Panel Wireman who takes pride in quality, accuracy, and professional workmanship.

• Build and wire bespoke BMS control panels from electrical schematic drawings
• Complete full panel builds including:
  • Back plate and door layout
  • Mounting electrical components
  • Wiring, dressing, and terminating to specification
• Work on a variety of panel types including:
  • Wall-mounted panels (single and multi-cabinet)
  • Floor-standing panels
  • Box build assemblies
• Carry out quality checks and panel testing to ensure compliance
• Use hand tools, power tools, and test equipment safely and correctly
• Maintain a clean, organised working area and ‘zero defects’ approach
• Liaise with engineers where drawings require clarification
• Assist with occasional modifications or improvements

Please note:

• All work is bespoke
• No soldering required
• Some manual handling / heavy lifting involved

• Minimum 5 years’ experience as a Control Panel Wireman
• Strong experience wiring bespoke control panels (not just production-line work)
• Ability to read and interpret complex electrical schematics
• Competent in:
  • Stripping and crimping cables
  • Trunking, terminals, relays, contactors, MCBs/fuses
  • Professional wiring standards and torque settings
• Electrically qualified or electrically trained background
• Confident working independently and to deadlines
• English as a first language is essential due to documentation and communication

Desirable (but not essential):

• Previous BMS or HVAC control panel experience
• Quality control or testing exposure
• Busbar knowledge

• Reliable, punctual, and professional
• Comfortable working in a hands-on, workshop-led environment
• Strong attention to detail and pride in workmanship
• Able to integrate into an established, male-dominated engineering team
• Physically capable of workshop-based work

• Secure permanent position with a stable engineering business
• Fully bespoke, interesting panel build work
• Early Friday finish
• Clean, structured panel shop environment
• Immediate start available (subject to notice)
