• Monitoring the building's critical systems, including UPS, generators, and LV/HV switchgear.

• Responding to all building alarms and plant-room issues.

• Overseeing and supporting specialist sub-contractors.

• Ensuring all work is logged and compliant with strict Health & Safety standards.

The Ideal Candidate

• We strongly encourage applications from Service Leavers and Ex-Forces personnel.

• Must hold a full electrical qualification (e.g., NVQ Level 3, BTEC, HNC/HND, or equivalent military technical qualifications).

• Demonstrable experience in electrical maintenance, fault-finding, and power distribution.
