• Electrical testing and fault finding
• Diagnosing and resolving wiring issues within existing panels
• Completing work safely and to a high standard of quality
• Producing or updating record drawings where required (AutoCAD experience advantageous)
• Working closely with commissioning engineers and project teams to deliver successful upgrades

About You

We’re looking for someone with:

• Previous experience wiring and modifying electrical control panels
• The ability to read and interpret electrical schematic drawings
• Experience working on live site installations and panel modifications
• Strong fault‑finding and problem‑solving skills
• A proactive approach with excellent attention to detail
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Good communication skills and a professional approach when working with customers
• Desirable Qualifications & Experience
• 18th Edition Wiring Regulations
• NVQ Level 3 or equivalent electrical qualification
• Experience within Building Management Systems (BMS), controls or industrial automation
• AutoCAD or electrical drawing experience (advantageous)
• Full UK Driving Licence

What We Offer

• Competitive salary of £38,000‑£45,000, dependent on experience
• Overtime opportunities to increase earnings
• Company pension
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Ongoing training and development
• The opportunity to work on prestigious projects across the commercial, defence, healthcare, education and critical infrastructure sectors
