About the role
Are you an experienced Electrical Maintenance Engineer looking to apply your skills in a truly unique engineering environment?
At LEGOLAND Windsor Resort, we have a new permanent opportunity for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer (Electrical Bias) to join our specialist engineering team who are responsible for maintaining our diverse range of rides, attractions and themed experiences within one of the UK's most popular family destinations.
As a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer (Electrical Bias), you'll play a key role in ensuring the safe, reliable and efficient operation of complex electro-mechanical systems across LEGOLAND Windsor Resort. Working on a wide variety of attractions and ride systems, you'll undertake planned preventative maintenance (PPM), reactive maintenance, fault finding, diagnostics, inspections and refurbishment activities across both electrical and mechanical assets.
From troubleshooting PLC-controlled ride systems and electrical control panels to carrying out three-phase motor testing, electrical condition reporting and safety-critical inspections, no two days are the same. You'll work with a wide range of technologies including control systems, sensors, drives, pneumatic equipment and ride vehicles while supporting ongoing improvement, refurbishment and upgrade projects.
Working as part of a highly skilled engineering team, you'll help to deliver safe and memorable experiences for millions of guests each year while developing specialist expertise on engineering systems rarely encountered in traditional maintenance environments.
This role would suit engineers with experience in manufacturing, industrial maintenance, automation, FMCG, facilities management, rail, aerospace, automotive, marine or other engineering-focused industries who are looking for a technically challenging and rewarding role.
