You will be within multiple disciplined teams that follow a robust maintenance plan as well as getting involved in installation projects, electrical fault finding, project commissioning and emergency breakdown repairs.

  • Participating in a 24/7 out-of-hours standby rota will be required after a suitable period of training and assessment.
  • Additionally, you will be required to undertake health and safety checks and take ownership of your own and your colleague's health and safety by escalating any concerns to your manager and resolving them yourself where possible.

Base Location: Thames Gateway - Essex - IG11 0AD.

Working Pattern or hours: 38 Hours per week Plus the inclusion onto a standby rota for which you will receive additional payment.

A company van is also provided.

What you should bring to the role
  • Process experience within clean water process and the ability to coordinate & prioritise work
  • ONC or HNC relevant required. However, qualification in a technical discipline would be advantageous.
  • Have working experience on major infrastructure projects.
  • 18th Edition electrical City and Guilds certification is crucial.
  • Experience in electrical systems working in a true multi-skilled capacity.
  • The ability to work unsupervised and be prepared to work both day shift and/or operate on a 12-hour continental shift pattern. (where cover is required)
  • Prepared to be trained in safety procedures including Confined Space Entry.

  • Standby rota payments and overtime opportunities can increase this earning potential.
  • Company van, tools, and PPE provided.
  • Annual Leave 24 days holiday per year increasing to 28 with the length of service. (Plus bank holidays)
  • Contributory pension – Defined Contribution – company double matches up to 6% employee contribution.
  • Personal Medical Assessments – Open to all once a year.
