• Provide observation and monitoring regime for traction motors to spot problems early • Carry out in situ (on-site) repairs to Class 318 and 320 motors at Shields Depot, Glasgow • Perform commutator resurfacing work where needed to restore motor performance
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This is specialist railway electrical engineering: you almost certainly need proven experience with traction motors and rail industry accreditation. A general electrician cannot bid unless you have specific rail sector credentials.
