You will also be supported by an apprentice, providing additional resource while helping to develop the next generation of electrical talent.

• Work in void social housing properties, where your impact is immediate and visible

• Use modern tools and systems that make your job smoother and more efficient

• Join a supportive team with real opportunities to grow and develop your skills

• 18th Edition qualified

• Desirable - Inspection & Testing certification (2391 / 2394 / 2395 / 2391-52 or EAL equivalent)

• Proven experience in social housing, voids, or similar environments

• Experience with rewires, upgrades, and property turnaround works

• A proactive, quality-focused approach — you take pride in getting it right first time
