You will work 37 hours a week and subject to business need there may be requirement to undertake standby duties to provide coverage for our customers 24/7.

If you are offered a position, you will be required to successfully complete a basic DBS check that shows any unspent convictions or conditional cautions.

Ideal candidate

The ideal candidate for this role will put health and safety at the forefront of everything they do, having an understanding of ESQCR & Electricity at Work Regulations whilst also driving a culture that safety is everyone’s responsibility.

Experienced in electrical installation for commercial & domestic property and will have held customer facing roles previously which have helped develop excellent customer service and communication skills. You are required to hold a recognised Level 2 Electrical qualification (NVQ/City and Guilds).

You must hold a full, valid UK/EU driving licence and we will provide access to a Company van for business use only. 

Subject to business need, there may be opportunity to broaden your duties depending on your skill set to carry out switching at HV. You will be eligible for an annual allowance for this additional work.
