At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision in the new Swindon Plan is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for – the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services, better processes, and a better quality of life for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.
The Highway Maintenance team is responsible for the routine maintenance of the roads, footways, signs, lines, and street lights across Swindon, which is set to increase 30% over the next five years as the Council delivers ambitious expansion plans. This provides homes, jobs, recreational opportunities, and a high-quality environment for residents, visitors, and employers alike.
The success of our vision depends on our fantastic employees and fostering the talent of the future. That is why we have this exciting new opportunity as a Highways Higher Skilled Electrician.
Your next role
As a Highway Higher Skilled Electrician, you will be required to carry out all types of maintenance and fault-finding work associated with street lighting throughout the Borough. You should be prepared to work in all weather and participate in an out-of-hours standby rota, attending emergency situations to assess and repair. There may also be the opportunity for you to work overtime as required.
A driving licence is essential. You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act – for the performance of a customer-facing role).
As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work-life balance.
For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions, and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, revitalised Swindon together.
