We’re recruiting for a driven and dedicated Electrician to join our FM team at HMP Ashfield, an adult male sex offender prison based in the village of Pucklechurch in South Gloucestershire.

As the FM Electrician, you will carry out fault finding and defect rectification on electrical plant and equipment, perform pre-planned maintenance, and install new electrical plant and apparatus.

You will need to document inspection findings and pursue fault rectifications. You will work as part of a close-knit team but will also be expected to work independently at times.

What you’ll need to do the job

You must have a C & G Electrical Certificate or other recognized electrical trade qualification, have served a recognized trade apprenticeship, and be qualified to BS 1 (current edition of the IEE Regulations).

Additionally, you should have at least 5 years of relevant trade experience post-apprenticeship and be willing to undertake further training to enhance your technical skills if required.

Why Serco

We care for around 5,000 prisoners across our contracts, employing approximately 2,000 colleagues. You’ll be delivering an essential service that impacts lives.
