Yorkshire Housing owns and manages nearly 20,000 homes (and counting) across Yorkshire and our mission is to make it possible for current and future tenants to live in a place they’re proud to call home. Our service doesn’t stop once the keys are in the door, and as an Electrician, you’ll play a key role in making sure our tenants feel safe, valued and proud to live in a YH home from day one. It’s a role that you can go home from knowing you’ve made a difference, with customers always at the heart!

You’ll undertake all electrical workstreams which include Fixed wire testing (EICR’s), associated remedials, electrical repairs & alterations to existing fittings and fixtures, rewiring partial or full properties, including inspection and testing and the provision of certification and reporting on the condition of electrical components and equipment, planned installs such as lighting upgrades and heating upgrades. This will take place in both in empty and occupied properties.

You’ll use your own personal initiative, problem-solving any smaller issues on-site, but also be working as a key player in a bigger team. Also, you’ll work closely with other trades, as well as administrators and suppliers. You’ll be the face of Yorkshire Housing to many of our tenants. So, respectful, warm and professional communication is a key part of this role.

Requirements

• You’ll have City & Guilds Level 3 (or recognised equivalent qualification).
• City & Guilds 2382 (18th edition).
• NVQ in Electro technical Services & AM2 Certification and 2391-51 Periodic Inspection and Testing of Electrical Installations Level 3 (or recognised equivalent or greater qualification).
• You’ll also need a valid UK driving licence.
• This is a mobile role, so you'll be travelling around Yorkshire, however we'll try to allocate work locations based around your home location.

At YH, we’re building a work environment that’s inclusive as well as diverse, where everyone can be themselves. Difference is what makes us stronger, so we welcome and encourage candidates from all backgrounds.

If you are applying for this role internally you must inform your current line manager (it’s the right thing to do!). If a competitive candidate pool is identified, we reserve the right to close the role early, therefore we would encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible. You'll be based across Yorkshire, so please ensure your application and CV has an up to date postcode on!
