Deliver exceptional work with extraordinary purpose
You won’t find an opportunity like this anywhere else. As a key member of our Engineering team, you’ll play a key role in everything from the design and planning of electrical works to installation, commissioning, and reporting. The work is incredibly varied – from LV distribution to lighting, and from containment systems to fire alarms and air conditioning. You’ll lead multi-skilled teams and help deliver new builds, office refurbishments, vital upgrades, or essential maintenance, all to the highest standards of safety and customer satisfaction. You’ll contribute to project costings, technical surveys, problem-solving, and advisory services. Most importantly, you’ll be helping to keep people safe.
Use all your abilities like you’ve never used them before
To join our team, you’ll need to be able to spend up to 22 weeks a year on overseas installations, with individual projects lasting up to eight weeks. We will cover expenses for overseas work, including overtime and allowances in your remuneration package as appropriate to the work you do. An ECS Gold Card holder with Approved grading or higher, you’ll bring to the role a substantial track record in electrical installation. Working knowledge of BS 7671: 2018 is essential, and you should have NVQ Level 3 in electrical installations, plus City & Guilds 2391 Test and Inspection – or equivalent qualifications. It’s the personal qualities you bring that will really set you apart – from your commitment to exceptional standards of quality, safety, and customer satisfaction to your flexible approach and flair for communicating complex technical issues clearly to people who don’t share your expert knowledge. In return, you can look forward to unparalleled opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Build your skills in locations around the globe
Working with us, you’ll help keep people, information, and assets safe around the world. It’s a role you can feel proud of; and we aim to make every part of your career just as rewarding. That’s why when you join us, expect to receive a competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement, and a Civil Service Pension. Along with this, you’ll also have access to training and other development opportunities to help grow your career with us. Our offices have an on-site gym, nursery, café, and restaurant, and we offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes to help you get there. It's a great set of benefits made to support all you do, and all you need.
Every single colleague must be security cleared before joining us. If you’re successful in your application, we’ll ask you to undergo our vetting process to achieve Developed Vetting (DV) clearance. You can find out more about vetting on our website.
