You will also be reacting to call ins, which may include tasks such as minor new works and installations, such as plug sockets, undertaking emergency light checks and distribution board checks.

This role will include travel within multiple locations so you must hold a full, clean UK driving licence. A company van will be provided for business use. Although there are 8 electricians on the team, you will predominantly be lone working so you must be independent and self motivated. As this will be a customer facing role, you must have good communication skills. It is desirable that you have experience of operating within either an MOD or Construction/Property Maintenance environment. You must be able to pass BPSS Clearance to be considered for this role.
